Rondeau Daily Report May10/04 Another day with good overall passerines passage. A total of 23 species of warblers were recorded today with the highlight being a Prairie Warbler at the South Pt. trail parking lot at 3pm. Two hours earlier a Cerulean Warbler was heard in the same location. Also along the South Point Trail were a Blue- winged Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler and female Hooded Warbler. Despite these less common warblers all being found at the south end of the park the bulk of warbler sightings continue to be from along Bennett Road and Spicebush Trail, including the Prothonotary. Interestingly after a good movement of Bay- breasted Warblers yesterday few have been seen today.
A late female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was reported today from Tulip Tree Trail and a Clay-Colored Sparrow from the beach access near the Visitor Centre. A Prothonotary Warbler was also reported from Wheatley Provincial Park this PM. The Friends of Rondeau are sponsoring two guided hikes daily until May 23rd.

These birds were all seen on Sunday May 9. In the sightings book at Pt Pelee NP, there was a report of Harris's Sparrow and I followed up, along with Jeff Skevington, and sure enough within seconds of stopping and looking at site #211 we saw the bird AND it was hanging out there despite a family being present on the site within 5m of the bird, this was at about 5pm. Also, not mentioned lately, were 15 Willets at the Shorebird Habitat at Hillman Marsh CA amongst 50+ Short-billed Dowitchers and other more common shorebirds. Also heard here were 2 Virginia Rail and 4 Sora (while walking around the dyke), these were heard/seen on Saturday along with the Piping Plover, which was not seen on Sunday. Blenheim SL (around 6:30pm) held 3 Wilson's Phalarope and 2 Horned Grebes amongst other species. Regards, Frank Pinilla Thornhill, ON DIRECTIONS: Pt Pelee NP - south on Hwy 77 from exit #48 on Hwy 401, through Leamington to the park (follow the signs). Hillman Marsh CA - County Rd 37 & CR 20, east of Leamington, birds are in the Shorebird Habitat which is well marked. Wheatley PP - Essex Cty Rd 3 just east of the town of Wheatley, turn south following signs to the park. Blenheim Sewage Lagoons - Lagoon Rd 1km north off Chatham-Kent CR 3, this is just west of the town of Blenheim, there is a car wash on the corner. A permit is required for entry into the lagoons (combination lock).
