Good morning,

An odd start today as it was hard to find any migrants before 7:30, but
there are now large numbers at many locations including Tulip Tree Trail,
Maintenance and Pony Barn, and likely others that we haven't received
reports yet. No rarities reported yet but undoubtedly there are some out
there.

Prothonotary Warblers continue to be seen at Log Pond at Pony Barn and at
post 7 on Tulip Tree Trail.

Hooded Warblers have been seen at Pony Barn (by the parking area) and on
Tulip Tree Trail (post 10).

Not many reports yet, but there are lots of birds.

Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do
so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email.

eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share
them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records.

More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is
available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca.

Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham
Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. Bird sighting
information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered
by the Friends can be found at the visitor centre. To reach the visitor
centre from the park gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner
Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided
hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more
information.
