8 to 10 people joined me on a modified Tiny Marsh field trip. We had 50 species from the Visitor Centre and along Trillium and Beaver Trails before making a stop on the Tiny-Flos Townline W of the marsh for a few grassland birds before heading to 3rd Concession of Tiny. We walked 1 Km listening for warblers and other passerines and were rewarded with a good look at a Canada Warbler and a pair of Scarlet Tanagers. We discussed whether to follow the promised itinerary for Piping Plovers at Wasaga Beach, but the group were keen to hike so we headed to the Matchedash Bay area and did the Cowan and Tiffault Trails. We had a beautiful male Golden-winged Warbler at Cowan and some of the group saw a male Brewster's Warbler along the wooded side of Tiffault. Several people had life birds and a Black-billed Cuckoo and Green Heron were produced on demand by yours truly, the intrepid leader.Thanks to all who attended and chipped in birds to the day's total of 84 species including 15 warbler species.Email me privately for the eBird checklists.
