Hi Birders, Today I managed to get up to Pinery Provincial Park. I found the bird activity rather quiet for this time of year. I did locate a couple of decent birds for the park.
ACADIAN FLYCATCHER on Bittersweet Trail about the half way point PINE WARBLERS on Wilderness Trail--usual nesters MAGNOLIA WARBLER at beach lot #8 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER at beach lot #3--probable nester CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER on Nippissing Trail at top of old dune--usual nesting area EASTERN BLUEBIRD on Nipissing Trail CLAY-CLOLORED SPARROW near Nippissing Trail in clearing at south end of trail. This looks like potential nesting area. A nice surprise for the day. I first heard the typical buzz calls. 2 GREEN HERONS flyover beach lot #8 MUTE SWAN on old river down from store (not nesting I hope) PURPLE FINCH--males singing on Cedar Trail and Nipissing Trail TUFTED TTIMOUSE--all over park--one of the better places to find this species. Pinery Park is along hwy 21 south of Grand Bend on Lake Huron. ________________________________ Blake A.
