Pelee Report for May 1, 2004 Rain overnite kept the large influx of birds that arrived Thursday from moving on.
Highlights today include SUMMER TANAGER, YELLOW-THROATED, PRAIRIE AND HOODED WARBLERS. The Tilden's Woods SUMMER TANAGER first reported Friday was still present this morning. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER was reported from the Chinquapin Trail at noon. Birds at the tip early this morning included at least 6 Willets and a 2nd year Lesser Black-backed Gull. A male Bobolink at the tip put on a good display for the park hike. Other warblers reported so far today include Blue-winged, Blackburnian, Nashville and Cape May Warblers. Yellow-rumped and Yellow Warblers are common and widespread. Palm, Black-and-white and Black-throated Green Warblers are also being reported by a number of birders in smaller numbers. All six species of vireos have been reported so far. Wood Thrush, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Gray Catbird, and both orioles are present in growing numbers. White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows are easily seen throughout the park.

Also many other warblers present, but it was rather wet for bird watching. Exit the 401 at Thickson Rd., south toward the lake, turning left just before the wooded area on your left. Abel Zwart
