This morning started with overcast and foggy conditions but the park is full of birds!
The tip was the absolute place to be this morning with tons of action to see. Whether it be BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, RUDDY TURNSTONES, DUNLIN or SANDERLING, there was a nice variety of shorebirds to look at. One of the LESSER BLACK BACKED GULLS also showed well. A BOBOLINK also provided decent views near the Serengeti Tree Trail. 25 different species of Warbler were noted at the park this morning. A KIRTLAND'S WARBLER was observed near the Serengeti Tree. Many people are trying to relocate it. At the Tip there were multiple MOURNING WARBLERS, a CERULEAN WARBLER, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, WILSON'S, CANADA and a YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. There are also many male and female BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS, and TENNESSEE WARBLERS in the park. We have not had further reports from the north end of the park or from outside the park at this time. -- Good Birding, Alan Watson, Aaron Brisebois, Chris Earley, Dale Wenger, Dana Latour, Emma Burbidge, Eric Baldo, Gabriel Foley, Jean Iron, Justin Peter, Kyle Horner, Mike Kent, Pete Read, Quinten Wiegersma, Stewart MacDonald, Tim Arthur, William Konze The 2024 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 22.
