*Point Pelee National Park Migration Update for May 10, 2010: *
A clear day with but a light breeze greeted birders in the Park this
morning. Winds were from the north shifting to the north-east. Off the Tip,
the three species of SCOTER were observed in the lake. At least two
WHITE-EYED VIREOS were present on the Tip, along with a PINE WARBLER. A
RUDDY TURNSTONE was at the Tip beach among the gulls. A female HOUSE SPARROW
provided a surprise near the restrooms, along with a roosting COMMON
NIGHTHAWK just off the path nearby.
Along the forest trails, a MOURNING WARBLER was present on the Chinquapin
Trail, and a SUMMER TANAGER was near post 17 on the Woodland Trail. An
unspecified BLUE-WINGED X GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER hybrid and a CANADA WARBLER
were spotted on the Shuster’s Trail. About 10 other species of warbler were
along Shuster’s, and into Tilden Woods, including NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH,
REDSTART, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, MAGNOLIA, and BLUE-WINGED WARBLERS.
Also reported from yesterday, the 9th, from the Park was a KENTUCKY WARBLER
at Sleepy Hollow, and a female SUMMER TANAGER that was seen across from the
Marsh Boardwalk parking lot and also along the Northwest Beach entrance
driveway.
Outside the Park today, a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was seen at Wheatley, and
a LAUGHING GULL was observed at the Hillman shorebird cell.
Good Birding,
Hike Leaders Pete, Karl, Todd, Justin, Marianne, John and Jeremy
