Good afternoon, Although most of the park seems very quiet, there continue to be good numbers of birds on Spicebush Trail and nearby sections of Rondeau Rd.
I do not know of any further sightings of the Worm-eating, Golden-winged or Cerulean Warblers. As the evening progresses they may become more active and vocal. The warblers mostly seemed to be sticking pretty close to the same areas. There were at least 3 Prothonotary Warblers on Rondeau Rd. about 200 m south of Spicebush, in addition to the continuing birds on Tulip Tree Trail. A Clay-colored Sparrow was seen on the east side of South Point Trail just before the first bench. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so to me through email, or to the Visitor Centre in person or at (519) 674-1768. 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 bird hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
