Good morning! Although there seems to be good numbers of migrants in the park today, they are increasingly becoming very difficult to see in the dense greenery. Lakeshore Rd. north of Bennett Rd. continues to be reasonably busy today.
A first year male Summer Tanager was seen on South Point Trail just south of Anne Mcarthur bench. Also on this trail was a Sedge Wren at the very start of the trail coming from the east parking lot. Prothonotary Warblers continue to be seen at post 7 on Tulip Tree Trail. Notable sightings from yesterday include a Louisiana Waterthrush at bridge C on Tulip Tree Trail and a White-eyed Vireo at Pony Barn. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email. eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. Bird sighting information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered by the Friends can be found at the visitor centre. To reach the visitor centre from the park gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
