Here is some critical information pertaining to the Grace's Warbler found today (Wednesday) at Point Pelee
The bird was originally found and photographed by Willie D'Anna at 6:56 a.m., just north of the Tip. The bird was apparently observed flying south off the Tip at 7:00 a.m. by others. Late tonight I received information from Joseph Minor, who saw and photographed the bird at Sparrow Field at 7:16 a.m. The date-stamp indicates photos were taken at 7:12 a.m., but I asked him to compare his camera directly to a real clock to verify the time. It so happens that his camera was in fact 4 minutes slow, thus 7:16 a.m. is the correct time the bird was photographed. The two photos provided are poor, but I am reasonably convinced that it is indeed the Grace's Warbler. The bird was feeding high up in tall trees at Sparrow Field, and the bird was still there when Joseph left the area. Thus the last time the bird was seen was at 7:16 a.m., which may imply that it was present all day. Even if the bird did fly south off the Tip, it obviously must have returned since it was seen later at Sparrow Field. So in summary, one can assume that the bird could well be still present on Thursday. Areas to check first would be Sparrow Field, then Post Woods, Loop Woods, and west beaches west of these sites.
