Good afternoon birders, There are still plenty of birds around the park, including some fairly rare sightings.
The Kentucky Warbler has been seen a couple times today, most recently reported around 1:30, but is being very secretive as this species usually is. 1 Willet and 6 Whimbrel are present on the beach about 3-400 m south of beach access 10. We also received a report of 3 Whimbrel and 1 Hudsonian Godwit from beach access 10 with no time given. I'm unsure whether this pertains to the same flock. The Yellow-throated Warbler(s) have been seen at cottage #17372 as recently as 11:30 am at least. Olive-sided Flycatcher was reported from South Point Trail. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre.
