Good morning, There seems to have been an influx of birds into Rondeau today, with later-arriving species like Swainson's Thrush and Tennessee and Blackpoll Warblers being common.
The male Prothonotary Warbler continues to be seen at the western-most bench on Bennett Rd. No reports of the Tulip Tree Trail bird yet today, but it is most likely still present as well. A Prairie Warbler was heard singing at the south end of Lakeshore Rd., but not seen. Similarly, a Golden-winged Warbler was heard singing on Harrison Trail just south of Bennett Rd. Cerulean Warbler and Hooded Warbler were reported from Tulip Tree Trail, but we have no details of the observations. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email. eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. Bird sighting information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered by the Friends can be found at the visitor centre. To reach the visitor centre from the park gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
