Scott asked me to forward this as he is not sure if his post went through. A Yellow-throated Warbler made an appearance at the Rondeau Visitor Centre feeders at noon today. First spotted by James Telford and Brennan Obermayer, the bird reappeared at the feeders five minutes ago.
Numbers of other migrants have picked up since last week with the fair weather and south winds including Yellow-rumped, Pine, Palm, Black-throated Green, and Black and White Warblers, Yellow-throated and Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, larger number of Tree Swallows, and a mix of sparrows. Also of note for those who like insects – thousands of Red Admirals in the park and surrounding area. Good birding, Scott Taylor A\Natural Heritage Education Specialist Rondeau Provincial Park Directions to the park: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16km on Chatham Kent Rd 15.
