Good morning, There seems to have been a pretty nice influx of birds into Rondeau this morning, with larger numbers of warblers present than there have been.
A Prairie Warbler was seen on Harrison Trail about 100 m north of the Visitor Centre, but I don't think it has been since despite some looking. The White-winged Dove has been seen again today at 17266 Lakeshore Rd. Prothonotary Warblers have been present again at post 7 on Tulip Tree Trail. They are also present on Bennett Rd., as is Yellow-throated Vireo. The east wind means that sheltered areas of the forest such as Bennett Rd. have been the most productive. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so to me through email, or to the Visitor Centre in person or at (519) 674-1768. 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 bird hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
