Hello Ontbirders. New for Rondeau Provincial Park's 2010 year list was a Yellow-throated Vireo on Tulip Tree Trail this afternoon. Also new were Canada Warbler and Bay-breasted Warbler on Spicebush Trail, and American Redstart as well as Ovenbird on South Point Trail. Our warbler count for today was 16 species.
The Cattle Egret near the park mentioned in my previous posting was present in the same field at the intersection of Erieau Road and Bisnett Road up to at least 3:15 pm today. The bird was in full breeding plumage. It could not be found at that location at 4:30 pm. Observers searching for the egret managed to turn up a flock of 60 Pectoral Sandpipers. At the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons, a Sora was sighted. Good birding!
