Good evening Ontbirders.
Our prime attraction at Rondeau this afternoon was a molting Summer
Tanager on South Point Trail. It was seen from shortly before noon up
to 3:15 pm (at least).
The park had reports of at least 26 species of warblers today. The
star of the show continues to be the Yellow-throated, visiting a site
near the Visitor Centre.
Birders looking for the Yellow-throated are asked NOT to visit the
site before 8:00 am, are reminded to show proper respect for property
and privacy, and to park at the Visitor Centre NOT along the road.
Groups visiting the site should be of small size – NO large groups,
please. The Yellow-throated has also visited the feeders at the
Visitor Centre.
An afternoon addition to our warbler list was a Mourning on South
point Trail. Other trails that were good for warblers today, aside
from South Point, were the Maintenance Loop and Bennett Road.
Thank you to all of those helpful birders who provided the information
which makes these reports possible!
Good birding
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. The Bird
Sightings Book, Bird Sightings Board, Bird Checklists and other
relevant information are to 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.
