The first visible sign of spring migration at Selkirk P. P. occurred this morning with flocks of Tundra Swans going west along the Lake Erie shoreline while Red-winged Blackbirds were observed going N. E. East and N.E. is the traditional route taken by spring migrating blackbirds, Am. Robins, Killdeers etc. over Selkirk.
The Tufted Titmouse reported earlier is present every morning around the banding station and occasionally comes into the feeder in front of the banding trailer. This bird is very vocal and is often heard more often than seen. Red-bellied Woodpeckers continue to be vocal in the park too. While no one has reported it lately N. Saw-whet pellets are showing up regularly under the pines on the trails through the banding area so at least one should be in the area somewhere. This however is the time of the year when N. Saw-whets are migrating north to the breeding areas. Several Eastern Bluebirds were along the 1st line north of Hagersville this afternoon. They were just west of the bridge over the railway line east of No. 6 highway. Selkirk P. P. is SW of the village of Selkirk off the Wheeler Rd.
