Hi everyone Spent part of the day birding Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Despite the early morning heavy rain the birding, both shorebirds and warblers was great. Along the beaches there was a nice fall out of shorebirds including 2 Whimbrel, 1 Long-billed Dowitcher, both American Golden Plover and Black-bellied Plover along with 4 White-rumped Sandpipers, 2 Ruddy Turnstones, and small numbers of Sanderling, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper and 48 Semipalmated Plover. There was a nice concentration of warblers at the Lighthouse, 21 species , including Wilson’s, Blackpoll, Blackburnian, Tennessee to name a few. Other birds of note included 45 Redhead, 2 Northern Harrier, 1 Merlin and 9 American Pipit.
