Good afternoon, Birding continues to be slow but steady at Rondeau today. The east side of South Point Trail has been fairly productive, with Red-headed Woodpecker and close low views of a number of warblers. I have heard second-hand reports of a Yellow-breasted Chat here today, I would be very interested in the details of this bird.
The White-winged Dove has been present all afternoon along Lakeshore Rd. south of the Visitor Centre. The Prairie Warbler near the visitor was seen again shortly after my earlier report, but possibly not since. 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.
