Good morning birders. A wonderful sunny day at Point Pelee and birding has been fairly steady. There has been a number of interesting sightings. A couple of RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS were noted, one near the start of the Shuster Trail and another near the Tip. Several PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS have been found. One was down in the slough near the end of Shuster Trail. Others were noted in Tilden Woods and still others see on the Woodland Trail. YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT has been reported just north of the Visitor Centre Parking lot and just onto the Post Wood Trail. There has been a report of a OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER from the Redbud Trail. A bit farther south on the trail people saw a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT. And down on the Post Wood Trail, a few birders came upon a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER. Once again a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW has been seen on the West Beach parking lot. WHITE-EYED VIREO were seen on Shuster Trail and near the Tip.
