Point Pelee Bird Tour guides are calling today a "Spectacular" bird day!! See below for the great species seen this morning. Today's photo is of a pair of nesting bluebirds we had on our property a few years back- photo courtesy of Mervyn Sequeira.
Good morning birders,
Another beautiful day to bird in Point Pelee. Birding is spectacular with many late migrants being reported.
People are reporting CONNECTICUT, MOURNING, CANADA and WILSON’S WARBLERS on various trails in the Park. Also YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. A couple of CERULEAN WARBLERS have been found as well. Both BLACK-BILLED and YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS have been seen. A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT is still being
noted in the Cactus Field. PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS and RED-HEADED WOODPECKER are preparing their nest sites now. About 24 species of warbler have been seen in the Park so far today.
This is our last migration report of the season. Thanks for all the support from the birders who have come to the Festival of Birds and supported the Friends of Point Pelee through hikes, birder’s breakfast, and the Nook.
Good birding,
Pete, Mark, Felix, and all the other hike leaders (Stewart, Aaron, Julie, Max, Asher, Dale, Quinton, Julia, Sally, and Annika)
