Point Pelee NP Migration Report for May 10.

Quite a few new migrants have arrived again today. So far birding was the best from the Tip up to Shuster Trail along the east beach. Birds were bug-hunting high and low in the brush along the beach. At least 20+ species of warbler are being seen.

At the Tip a LITTLE GULL , and BLACK SCOTER were seen flying near the shore. Also a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was traveling along the west side at the Tip.

Walking the east side at the Tip, people were finding many species. These included a BELL'S VIREO 400 m north of the Sparrow Field, SUMMER TANAGER north of the path over from the 42 sign, CANADA WARBLER, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, WILSON'S WARBLER.

Just south of the Sparrow Field there was a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER. A second one was reported from bridge E on the Woodland Nature Trail. And a third one was found along the east beach about 800 m south of Shuster Trail.

We just had a report of the first PHILADELPHIA VIREO of the year along the east beach just south of Shuster Trail.

A GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was again reported from the Sparrow Field.

A good group of birds was also reported from Tilden Woods. The most notable was a CERULEAN WARBLER. Many thrushes were also noted.

An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was heading south through the Woodland Nature Trail.

Good Birding,
