Birders,
I spent a little more than 1/2 day at Point Pelee today. There were
many pockets of active warblers, especially on the Woodland Trail,
also abundant Swainson's Thrushes and a couple a Veerys. The
juvenile CONNECTICUT WARBLER was on the east beach path nearly to the
tip. One Blackburnian and one Cape May had essentially spring
plumage colors. Eastern Wood Pewees were plentiful, but the only
other flycatcher was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. There were plenty
of Sharp-shinned Hawks, one Cooper's, one Red-shouldered Hawk and one
female Merlin. I did not see or hear one sparrow all morning.
