Good morning birders, We had a large number of newly arrived warblers and other birds in the park this morning, many singing. Most areas of the park seem very productive.
A Connecticut Warbler was heard only this morning on Harrison Trail about 100 m north of the visitor centre. Yellow-throated Warbler was reported again from South Point Trail at the Anne McArthur bench. The White-winged Dove is still along Lakeshore Road south of the visitor centre, while Prothonotary Warblers continue on Tulip Tree Trail. No doubt there are many more birds waiting to be found! Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so to me through email, or to the Visitor Centre in person or at (519) 674-1768. 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 bird hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
