Rondeau Festival of Flight May 3rd Morning Report An exciting morning to start off the day here in Rondeau. 20 Species of Warblers have been seen in the past few hours primarily in the north end of the park. Hooded and Blue-winged warblers were seen on Harrison along with well over ten species of warblers. Another Blue-winged was seen on Warbler Way amongst Magnolia, Cape May, and Pine Warblers.
The diversity is quite good in the park and with fair numbers. Also, worth noting is the high number of Blue-headed Vireos, Great-crested Flycatchers, and the continuation of thousands of White-throated Sparrows. Warbler Way, which has been mentioned in past reports is the new and more appropriate name for the trail previously named “Maintenance Loop”. The Trail Is off of Rondeau Rd just past the park store and also can be accessed by Rondeau Avenue by turning down towards the Trailer Sanitation area. The south end of Harrison Trail, South Point, and Marsh Trail are extremely wet and flooded in parts, tall boots are recommended. Join us from May 1st until the 19th for the Festival of Flight. Guided hikes available.
