Hi folks: I apologize for this late report, but just back to the computer from a long weekend away. On Saturday (May 15) along the Opinicon Road to the west of Chaffey's Locks in the Rideau Lakes, there were very actively singing and visible Golden-winged Warblers (6), Cerulean Warblers (5), Yellow-throated Vireos (2) and many Eastern Bluebirds, Baltimore Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, Indigo Buntings and a mix of more common warblers.
