Good morning, Rondeau seems to be a little bit more active than the last couple days, but there still haven't been any reports of large numbers of migrants at any one location.
Prothonotary Warblers continue to be seen on Tulip Tree Trail, and one was also heard along Rondeau Rd. between South Point and Spicebush Trails. A Hooded Warbler was singing on South Point Trail near the Anne McArthur bench, as was a White-eyed Vireo. Late species like Mourning, Canada and Wilson's Warbler are increasing, and several of each were along this trail. Blue-winged Warbler was seen at the maintenance area. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email. eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. Bird sighting information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered by the Friends can be found at the visitor centre. To reach the visitor centre from the park gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
