All,
Yesterday evening at Rock Point Provincial Park I found what appears to be
a probable quite uncommon Dunlin * White-rumped Sandpiper hybrid (or less
possibly Dunlin * Baird's). I apologize for the 24 hour delay in posting, I
wanted to get some external feedback an thoughts before posting.
Hi all,
This morning Mark Peck and I watched two Piping Plovers interacting around
three nest scrapes they have made close to each other. The female was raising
her tail and soliciting a copulation, then sitting down on the scrapes as if
incubating. In addition, a third Piping Plover is also
Looked for a couple of hours with no success after 12PM.
Did see 6 species of sparrows (Song, House, Savannah, White-crowned, Lincoln’s,
White Throated) along with Eastern Bluebirds in the thickets and adjacent field
to the children’s play area.
All the best,
Xavier Fazio

Not sure if I would call this Golden Plover "aberrant." To me it looked like a
very typical first-summer (one-year-old) Golden Plover, a plumage we don't
normally see around here until a bit later in the season (i.e. around the
middle of June).

After much better looks and much discussion, we are fairly sure that this is a
golden-plover. A number of plumage details have been seen better and due to a
combination of those traits and relative size we are all fairly set on it being
a golden-plover. Oh well, still a fun study!
Good
Today at 2:32 pm I saw and heard two Crows circling just to se east of me
from the tip of Whimbrel Point near "observation central" of today's
Whimbrel Watch. They were only about 20 meters from me and looked they
were going land on the shoreline. Before landing, a Red-winged Blackbird
began
The bird reported as a possible Mountain Plover at the Hillman Marsh Shorebird
cell north east of Point Pelee is likely an aberant Golden Plover. A number of
expert birders have had very good scope views and all agree it is not a
Mountain Plover.

Good afternoon,
Although most of the park seems very quiet, there continue to be good
numbers of birds on Spicebush Trail and nearby sections of Rondeau Rd.
I do not know of any further sightings of the Worm-eating, Golden-winged or
Cerulean Warblers. As the evening progresses they may become
Hi folks
The Kite is still present this afternoon. Same location but may require a
scope. There is a possibility of a second bird too

There is an interesting plover at the hillman marsh shorebird cell that looks
pretty good for Mountain Plover - a number of us are watching it now. Michael
Runtz found it.
Good birding

Hi again,
The kite is still soaring past the north end of the lake. Very distant views
and has flown out of view to the northwest. I anticipate that it will come back.

We are currently watching a singing male Golden-winged Warbler on the west
side of Rondeau Rd. 300 m north of Spicebush Rd.
After posting about the Worm-eating we had a Cerulean Warbler singing at
the same spot on Spicebush Trail, but never saw it. Good numbers of
warblers in this part of the
Was seen hanging around the children's play area by the soccer fields.
Was also seen in and around the paved walkway in behind the play area.
The park is located at the corner of Highway 5 (Dundas Street) and Kerns
Road.

Good morning,
It seems to be a pretty slow morning of birding here, but there are a few
of our later migrants scattered around. Spicebush Trail seems to be one of
the more productive areas.
The White-winged Dove is still present along Lakeshore Rd. south of the
Visitor Centre, and Prothonotary

Love,
I saw two high flying birds circling each other at about 9 a.m. this morning.
Although I did not have my binoculars, they had dark bodies and white heads.
They were clearly soaring and circling each other for at least five minutes.
This was seen from whites and
Not rare but many looking for this bird here today. Viewing along the ridge,
about 50 m E of N/S trailhead along Cassels, looking S. Eye level views of
cracking adult male!

whip-poor-will then realized that it was not giving the Whip-poor-will
song but the voice had a whip-poor-will quality. It called 4 times. As
it called I said to myself "poor will, poor will" rising at the end of
