Greetings birders just to let everyone know The Hilliardton Marsh bird Wetland research and Education Center has recently been banding a significant amount of warblers that are still in the north including very late yellow warblers. Nashville Tennessee Redstarts Wilson’s yellow rumps and both Philadelphia and red eyed vireo’s are still present in good numbers as well lots of shorebirds still call the marsh their home including Bairds sandpipers, least’s and lots of greater yellowlegs. From the number of recaptured song birds I get the feeling the big push may be a couple of weeks away as the birds seem to be staying put. If anyone is interested in hearing more from north eastern Ontario please let me know and I will keep you updated. We were quite excited yesterday to see an immature bald eagle. Hopefully lots of exciting news from the marsh to come.
