Festival of Flight May 7th Afternoon Report Birding has remained slow in the park but continues to be a beautiful day to be outside! A total of 15 Species of warblers have been seen today. Pony Barn has been the highlight for birding today with great looks at several Warbler species. White-eyed Vireo, seven species of warblers as well as a Great Crested Flycatcher all showed very well on our afternoon hike at the Log Pond behind the Pony barn. The Summer Tanagers continue to be spotted foraging in trees and feeders in the Campground area throughout the day.
Just outside the park at Keith Mclean off of Kent Bridge Rd, American Avocets and Willets are showing well in the back pond. We are hosting a morning walk at 7:30 AM tomorrow (meet at Visitor Centre), as well as a Marsh Trail evening hike at 7 PM (meet at Marsh Trail Parking lot). Hikes cost $10 per person.
