Kenny and Mike Burrell discovered a male White-winged Dove at 3 pm today here at Long Point. The bird was moving slowly west through the cottonwoods along the beach. We last saw it just west of Amy Ave. and Hwy 59 on Long Point proper. A good point to start a search would be from the Causeway Restaurant at the south end of the causeway where it curves east onto Long Point. Walking west along Hastings Drive (starts at Causeway Restaurant) might be the best bet as the bird's direction of travel seemed to be steadily west at a leisurely pace. While it sits quietly in the thick cottonwoods from time to time and is difficult to see, it was singing consistently making it easier to locate.

This bird has not been seen at Wye Marsh, but a white pelican was reported two days ago near Cognashene (north of Honey Harbour on Georgian Bay) and today a woman came into the centre with video footage of the bird in Hogg's Bay near Victoria Harbour. As for the marsh today, up in the forest south of the marsh we saw: 1 Rose breasted grosbeak 2 eastern Kingbirds 1 northern oriole 1 golden winged warbler 3 ovenbirds 1 hermit thrush 1 eastern phoebe 1 chickadee 3 turkey vultures Not too much else in the woods today.this is from a walk around 11am, and it was already really hot & humid out so everyone was being pretty quiet!
