A day will make all the difference. There were not as many birds today, and there seemed to be a changeover in the birds. Quite often, when one has a good day, the next day is not as good! Anyway, we found a nice male Cape May Warbler and a Chestnut-sided Warbler on south point trail. These were good for this date. I also spotted a Least Flycatcher which was another first for the year.
Other warblers included a pair of Pine, Black-throated Green, Palm, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat and of course Yellow-rumped. Another two White-eyed Vireos were on south point as well.
On the lake lots of Bonaparte's Gulls were moving and we spotted four Little Gulls among them.
In the afternoon I went along with Lambton Wildlife's hike in Reid's Bush north of Wallaceburg. It was mainly to look at plants, but we did see a few birds. Just as we started, we heard a Sandhill Crane. In the woods we encountered Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Black-and-White Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Wood Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and the resident woodpeckers.
A Tree Frog about four metres up a tree in a hole provided a unique photo opportunity.
A very large burl in a Walnut tree was interesting.
