Hi All I arrived at the Visitor Centre this morning, to be greeted by the call of a Fish Crow. The bird was first found by Mike Nelson. It was calling from one of the tall trees in the transit loop and was also seen sitting on the satellite tower at the rear of the Visitor Centre.
There haven't been as many birders in the park this week, but the highlights from the last few days are Whimbrel (1) and Nelson's Gull at the Tip yesterday morning - Josh Vandermuelen and I found them. We also had an Acadian Flycatcher leaving the Tip in the morning. Mississippi Kite (1) was reported from the Tip yesterday afternoon - no details have been provided. Mourning Warbler was noted this morning and Blackpolls are widespread throughout the park. Many resident warblers have taken up territory, but there are still lingering migrants. The foliage is close to full leaf out - so seeing birds is getting much tougher, I did hear Black-throated blue, Northern Parula and Blackburnian yesterday in my travels. It's the time of year to keep your ears open! Good Birding everyone!
