Good morning all, Welcome back to another spring at Rondeau!
The best birds reported so far today have been White-eyed Vireo and Acadian Flycatcher, both seen on South Point Trail. The largest concentrations of migrants seem to be in the northeast part of the park, and yesterday's Yellow-throated Warbler may well still be present at beach access #1. A scarlet tanager was seen here today. A Peregrine Falcon and American Kestrel flew over South Point Trail. The Eared Grebe at the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons was still present yesterday afternoon along with many ducks and a half-dozen common shorebird species.
