Point Pelee Park Bird Report May 5
***somehow this report didn't get out this morning at 10:30 this =
morning. We thought it was sent but apparently the modem turned itself =
to off. We appologize for any inconvenience.
Winds shifted to the west yesterday, and were gusty. Last night it =
rained briefly, with Thunder and Lightning, and winds changed to the =
northwest. Needless to say, little migration.=20
*Just now as we are sending the report, mentioned at the front desk, a =
report of a probable Lawrences' Warbler, seen near the washrooms at the =
tip, by two groups of birders.
Many of the unusual birds have remained. The Yellow-throated Warbler has =
moved north of White Pine and Black Willow, and was singing above the =
washrooms at Pioneer.
There is now a report of a female Summer Tanager in Tilden's Wood, near =
the entrance off Schuster Trail, where the first year male has been =
noted the last few days. The male may still be in the area too, but not =
reported as of yet.
Hooded Warblers, as many as 3, have continued to be found in Tildens.
Along Anders Footpath near the Cemetary, a Cerulean Warbler, and =
Blue-winged Warbler.
Another Blue-winged Warbler was found near post 7 on the Woodland Nature =
Trail.
The E. Screech Owl continues to roost in a cedar, near post 8 of the =
Woodland Nature Trail.
The Prairie Warbler, first found a couple of days ago, is still present =
along the west beach trail, about 100m south of the West Beach parking =
lot.
White-eyed Vireos are more plentiful this year. There are pairs at =
entrance to Tildens, at Loop Woods, and DeLaurier trail, so far.=20
The Yellow-breasted Chat is still along Schuster Trail, just past the =
entrance to Tildens. It was feeding on Sumac berries, over the path =
again. A Merlin flew over near that trail.
E. Bluebird was noted at the tip.
Water Pipits were going by the point.=20
Good bird'n
