Good Morning Birders, Rondeau has been fairly quiet again this morning, but a couple interesting birds have been found.
Most people looking for Prothonotary Warbler have been disappointed, but 1 was seen this morning on the Marsh Trail. At least 1 Hooded Warbler is still present on Spicebush Trail as well as on South Point Trail. Other birds from around the park include as many as 4 White-eyed Vireos on South Point Trail, a Blue-winged Warbler heard on Spicebush Trail and an early Gray-cheeked Thrush on Tulip Tree Trail. Late additions to yesterday's report include an Eastern Whip-poor-will and several American Woodcocks heard after dark at the Pony Barn. At least 1 Wilson's Phalarope continued with a variety of other shorebirds in the sprinkler cells at the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre.
