There was a major fall-out of migrants this morning at Long Point. The highlight of the 13 warbler species was a WORM-EATING WARBLER just south of the playpark in the campground. The other warblers were:
Nashville Warbler (3) Yellow Warbler (10+) Black-throated Blue Warbler (1 male) Myrtle Warbler (1000+) Black-throated Green Warbler (10+) Palm Warbler (10+) Pine Warbler (20+) Black-and-White Warbler (10+) Ovenbird (2) Northern Waterthrush (15+) Louisiana Waterthrush (1) Hooded Warbler (1 female) Other highlights included: Orchard Oriole (ASY and a SY male) Rose-breasted Grosbeak (3) Gray Catbird (2) Red-headed Woodpecker (1) Yellow-throated Vireo (1) The staff at Old Cut also mentioned having Cape May Warbler at the station, as well as a YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD calling in the marsh. Good birding, Matt (on Twitter @BirderMatt) & Adam Timpf Walsingham, Ontario Directions: Take HWY 59 south. The HWY ends at the start of Long Point Provincial Park. Note: The park is still closed, so you have to walk in. It is a bit of a hike to get to the far end, but there are lot's of migrants throughout. Also, we saw our first Deer Tick of the year, so be on the lookout for them. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
