Good afternoon birders, Birding continues to be excellent at Rondeau.
The eastern end of South Point trail is alive with several large flocks of warblers before the washout. A female Cerulean Warbler and a Clay-colored Sparrow have been present at times, among at least 17 species of warbler (with at least 20 in the park overall). A Great Horned Owl was seen in flight at the maintenance loop.
