A brief shower didn't deter birders for long and a variety of good birds were located. The female BLUE GROSBEAK continues to be seen in the Cactus Field, and a female CERULEAN WARBLER and a male HOODED WARBLER were observed in the tip area. A male CERULEAN WARBLER and a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER were reported from Tilden Woods. Yesterday, a female KIRTLAND'S WARBLER was observed along the east side of the DeLaurier parking lot. The PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS continue along Woodland Trail at Bridge A and F. Outside the park the WHITE-WINGED DOVE continues at 337 Robson Road in Leamington. Several YELLOW-BILLED and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO have been mentioned, and about 20 species of warbler. Also more flycatchers have been reported in the last few days.
