Hello All,
The Western Tanager was re-found this morning at the Long Point Bird
Observatory's Old Cut field station by George Pond. It was hanging around
until about 1300, but is likely still in the area. It is most commonly seen in
the Old Cut woodlot property high in the pines, feasting on fermenting grapes
and catching the odd fly. The bird is incredibly secretive so it will take a
little time and effort if you're going to look for it.
There were also 7 Cave Swallows foraging low around the Tip this morning. This
makes 10 for the Long Point area so far this fall. Two were observed at the Tip
on October 20th, and another single bird at the Tip on November 1st. We have
yet to have any on the mainland.
Cheers,
Stu
LPBO is situated on the north shore of lake Erie, in
Canada. From Highway 401 or Highway 3, come south on Highway 59 to the
north shore of Lake Erie. We're on Old Cut Blvd. on Long Point, just
two streets before Highway 59 ends at Long Point Provincial Park. We
are the 6th building on the right as you head north on Old Cut Blvd.
from Highway 59. There is a small sign on the front lawn. You can park
across the road in the Ministry of Natural Resources parking lot.
