The migrants were pretty busy at Long Point today. The Old Cut woodlot was
hopping with 23 Warbler species along with a good rush of Wood and Hermit
thrush, and Lincoln's Sparrows.
Four Worm-eating Warblers, that I am aware of, were at Long Point this morning.
One was found in the Long Point Provincial Park (LPPP) on the 7th, and was
re-found this morning near the main campground playground. A third bird was
found in the Old Cut woodlot late this morning and another individual was found
in the 'old' Provincial Park / overflow campground about 2km east of the LPPP.
The fourth bird was banded at one of the Long Point Bird Observatory's (LPBO)
remote field stations and a Kentucky Warbler was observed.
Four Hooded Warblers were in the Old Cut woodlot today. Two second-year males,
an after-second year female and a second-year female. Another male Hooded was
found by Ron Ridout in the Port Rowan cemetery and individuals were also at
both remote field stations.
The adult male Yellow-headed Blackbird that has been observed at the Old Cut
field station over the past two weeks was observed again today flying low over
the woodlot. Later that evening two males were heard from the Old Cut dyke,
occasionally counter-singing, in the Long Point Crown Marsh.
Good Birding,
Stu

I birded Old Cut at Long Point today and recorded 89 species including
17 species of warblers. The best bird of the day was a worm-eating
warbler seen at Old Cut in the morning which I managed to photograph.
