Festival of Flight May 5th (Morning) A busy morning here at Rondeau, with the birds following the same pattern as the past few days. The action is primarily in the north end of the park at Maintenance Trail as well as the Marsh Trail. Three Prothonotary Warblers have been spotted on Bennett rd within the slews. Also on Bennet a male Hooded Warbler was found on the Harrison Trail just south of the rd. Also a Yellow-breasted Vireo, and a Orange-crowned warbler were found on the Harrison trail near the Pony Barn. Following the pattern of activity north a Yellow-breasted Chat as well as several other warbler species are showing well in the Maintenance Trail Area. Further north action continues with a female Cerulean Warbler at Beach access #2 along Lake Shore Rd. The Kentucky was not found yesterday or this morning so far.
The Visitor Centre along with several cottages are still out of power following the storm yesterday evening. The Visitor Centre will remained closed until power is restored. Park office as well as the gates for the park and camp site are still operational. Join us from May 1st until the 20th for the Festival of Flight!
