Hello Ontbirders
The Britannia Conservation Area is sizzling right now.
This morning, several birders were treated to a flurry of warbler
movement, especially along the ridge at Britannia.
I personally tallied 16 species, while missing 3 species reported by
other birders (total 19).
I observed: Nashville, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Yellow-rumped,
Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Palm, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll,
Black & White, American Redstart, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush,
Common Yellowthroat, Wilson's.
Reported by others: Canada, Tennessee, Black-throated Blue.
Also present were 4 species of vireo including 2 Philadelphia, and 2
Blue-headed.
Several other species of common migrant were present. Some in good
numbers.
An adult Red-shouldered Hawk was also interesting.
From about 12:30pm until I left (approx. 1:00pm) a very cooperative
Olive-sided Flycatcher perched in the tall dead tree near the east side
of the ridge.
