Festival of Flight May 9th Morning Report A busy morning here at Rondeau with very good numbers of songbirds moving through. Once again the birds are being found in the North end of the park, with most of the action at Marsh Trail. Warblers, Sparrows, Vireos, and Flycatchers are all moving very quickly through the park and sticking high in the willows and flowering trees.
23 Species of Warblers have been spotted this morning primarily at the Maintenance Loop as well as the Marsh Trail. Blue-winged Warbler, Hooded Warbler, and Canada Warbler are all present in the Maintenance area along with several species of Sparrows. Philadelphia Vireos have been spotted at both the Marsh Trail and Pony Barn. It is also worth noting a movement of both Summer and Scarlet Tanagers in the park. We are hosting a guided hike at 1 PM today for a fee of $10 per person. Meet at the Visitor Centre if you would like to participate. Join us from May 1st until the 20th for the Festival of Flight Hike Leader: Peter Simons _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
