Hi Birders,

We spent two days at Point Pelee, covering a few trails, and came up with 6
warbler species.
Coming home we stopped by at Rondeau and covered only one trail, Spicebush
trail.
We had 8 warbler species in two hours.
In fact we were sitting on a bench at one time and a nice mixed flock of
Warblers came across.
Interestingly we had the same experience last year; had more species at
Rondeau then at Point Pelee.

Good Birding.

PS: Point Pelee is still a magical place to visit but might not be as good
as it was 10 years ago.
