Hello Birders! It's been another damp morning at the park - fortunately it's nice and warm this weekend!
By far, the most exciting bird of the morning was another Kirtland's Warbler, this time found on the West Beach footpath, near the trail to the half-way point. Whimbrel (2) were seen flying by the Tip this morning. The Mourning Warbler continued to be seen, this time along the West trail at the Tip. Blackpoll Warblers were present in good numbers and Black-throated Green Warbler was observed again today, as well as Magnolia, and Tennessee. A White-eyed Vireo was active at the Tip transit stop today. Large groups of Cedar Waxwings have moved into the area in the last few days and are being viewed at the Tip. As has been the case for last two weeks, Orioles, of both varieties have been very active in the park and are very easy to see. A Common Nighthawk was noted flying over the VC parking lot. We have had no reports today of the Dickcissel or American White Pelicans. The Red-necked Phalarope (2) are still being seen in the onion fields north of the park - today they were noted at the corner of Concession E and Mersea Road 19. Good birding everyone!
