Another fine day in Point Pelee NP for the last day of the Festival of Birds.
Birding has been quite steady with many warblers and flycatchers being sighted.
There was a report of a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, just down the main road to the
Tip south of the Visitor Centre, but it was not re-found
WARBLER was heard near the small gravel parking lot near
the Visitor Centre.
We have not had many reports from further north in the park, but the level of
bird activity is high and widespread, so we suspect that there is good birding
throughout.
