Twenty-one species of warbler recorded so far today at Presqu'ile, just in the campground area. Nothing unusual but generally a few of everything. Perhaps unfortunately all the late warblers - Blackpoll, Wilson's, Canada and Mourning were noted, though Yellow-rump remain the single most common species. Also first Alder Flycatcher of the year.
The rarest bird for Presqu'ile today is one, and possibly 2 White-eyed Vireos. At 8am one was singing behind the bird sighting board. (this is the same spot one was seen two days ago). At 9am a White-eyed Vireo was located singing behind campsite 211 in Lakeside campground. This was probably the same bird as it seemed to be working its way east.
