Friends of Point Pelee provides daily updates of sightings within Point Pelee National Park during the Festival of Birds May 3 through May 19, 2008
Another night of southerly winds brought a few new birds. And luckily a few of the good ones from yesterday remained. The number of birds continues to be moderate but there are a few good pockets here and there throughout the Park. At the Tip A Little Gull was a flyby at the tip. People noted a Northern Mockingbird. A minor reverse movement of birds into the southerly winds produced a few hummingbirds and several Scarlet Tanagers among others seen. In Tilden Woods Once again a male Cerulean Warbler was located.
