Good Morning, A beautiful day dawned this morning at Point Pelee. While there was not the large number of migrants in the Park, birding continues to be steady. There are still 20 species of warblers being reported this morning.
At the Tip, early-arriving people were rewarded by finding a couple of WHIMBREL among the good mix of shorebirds, including RUDDY TURNSTONES, DUNLIN, and others. Also noted at about 9 a.m. were a NEOTROPIC CORMORANT, as well as 6 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS. The PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS continue to put on a show on the Woodland Nature Trail, especially at bridge A and F. They have also been reported on Delaurier Trail. Also noted was a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER between bridge E and F on the Woodland Trail. There was a report of a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD and a CANADA WARBLER on the West Beach Trail. -- 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.
