Festival of Flight May 20th Final Report Pony Barn and the beginning of Harrison Trail, as well as South Point are the best spots for bird activity this morning. 16 species of warblers were seen in that area, along with 70 other species recorded. South Point was spectacular this morning with 22 species of warblers including Mourning, Canada, Orange-crowned, Prothonotary, and Pine.
Most other trails are fairly quiet with the exception of Water St south of the Marsh Trail parking lot. It is also worth noting that a large number of Wilson’s Warblers, and Tennessee Warblers are moving through the park. Today is our last day of the Festival of Flight! It’s been an interesting migration with diversity and numbers. Over 218 species have been recorded over the past 20 days in both the park boundary and Blenheim Sewage Lagoons. Thank you to all who came out and participated! Good luck with the rest of the birding year, see you next spring.
