Yesterday Bob Tyler and I birded Ward’s Island and a small part of Algonquin Island and though migration has picked up some it’s slow but following are some of the birds we found.
Great Egrets, Osprey, Merlin, 30+ Black-bellied Plovers flying west overhead, 7 Hummingbirds, Belted Kingfisher, 7 Flycatcher species including 3 Olive-sided Flycatchers together (2 adults and 1 juvenile), Yellow-bellied and Great-crested Flycatchers, lots of Eastern Kingbirds, 1 only Tree and Barn Swallow, House Wrens, 9 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers including juveniles, lots of Catbirds including juveniles, Philadelphia and Red-eyed Vireos and 15 Warbler species but none in big numbers but it’s encouraging. We also spotted some Snow Birds and a 1950’s Sabre Jet along with a WWII Lancaster bomber. Norm Murr Richmond Hill.
