Good morning birders! Despite the rainy morning, the park has produced many good species this morning. The tip was rainy and quiet, but an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was eventually found feeding in some shrubs.
Woodland trail continues to be productive with BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, to name a few. On Tilden woods trail, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, CERULEAN WARBLER, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, WILSON’S WARBLER, HOODED WARBLER, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, and a BREWSTER’S WARBLER were seen! In the northern part of the park, a SUMMER TANAGER was found at Park Orientation, and down at the West Beach parking lot, a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW continues to be skulky. And finally, a few WHITE-EYED VIREOS, CLAY-COLOURED SPARROWS, and PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS are sprinkled throughout the park. Good Birding, Matt, Mike, Dale, Aaron, Jean, Justin, and Pete.
