During the last 5 trips between Apr. 9th and yesterday we were finding 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker on every trip, a bird we are lucky to see once or twice a year and then for just one day.
I was wondering if the same bird was hanging around but was seen throughout The Islands. Today Ian and I found 2 on Algonquin Island and I found four more between there and Gibralter Point. It’s a very good day when you find 6 of them in the whole Long Point area. Quite an increase. I also added Northern Parula and Common Yellowthroat today and was told that 2 Eastern Kingbirds were on Hanlan’s Point.
