Hi everyone, I checked out the Coves this morning at Long Point, hoping for a morning flight of passerines (moving east-west), and was not disappointed. Not only were there several hundred warblers moving west along the shoreline, I also had a Eurasian Collared-Dove flyby at 08:04. The bird appeared to have landed amongst the houses at the end of the Cove Road, but was not refound, though there's a decent chance it is still in the area.
As noted above, the morning flight of passerines was excellent, with 20 species of warblers (388 unidentified warblers), lots of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Bobolinks as well. See my eBird checklist for species and numbers: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31493708 Directions: from Port Rowan, head west along Lakeshore Road about 10 minutes, past Lee Brown's and the Hahn unit; Cove Road will be on your left, dead-ending at the lake.
