Hello Ontbirders,
Spent the long weekend birding the Presqu'ile Provincial Park area. The
warbler watching was great with 22 species on May 18 including Canada,
Mourning, Wilson's, Bay-breasted and a Louisiana Waterthrush today, May 19
along Jobes' Woods Trail. The highlight of the trip was a Snowy Egret on May
18 spotted by my son Ben at Salt Point. It was enjoyed by many of the
birders in the park. Other species of note included 9 Red-throated Loon ( 8
in breeding plumage) on May 18 off Beach #1,
2 Great Egret both May 18, 19., and 1 Whimbrel May 18, Owen Point.
good birding, Bruce
