The forecast rain did not arrive this morning so the birders are more comfortable. We are noting a number of the same species as yesterday but there are a few more flycatchers and female warblers. Warbler highlights so far include YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER (1), CERULEAN (1), KENTUCKY (1), PROTHONOTARY, CANADA, and CONNECTICUT(1) WARBLERS. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER was noted near the solar panel on the east side at the Tip and has since been seen by many as it slowly makes its way north. Also noted nearby was an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, and a CERULEAN WARBLER a few hundred metres north in Loop Woods near Sparrow Field. Two SUMMER TANAGERS were reported: one near Camp Henry along the road, and the other on the Tilden Trail. Also in that area a KENTUCKY WARBLER was noted. A MOURNING WARBLER was found in the parking area of Camp Henry. Further south of the Camp, along the Centennial Trail, a CONNECTICUT WARBLER was reported. On Tilden Trail, near the south end of the east seasonal trail a HOODED WARBLER was noted. We had reports of several CANADA WARBLERS. Two were near bridge A on the Woodland Nature Trail. Near that area there was a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER. Near bridge F on the same trail there were several more of that species.
