Things seemed better today. The sun was out most of the day, and more birds were in. The cool NW wind kept us on the east side of Rondeau Park.
Notably, some warblers came in, especially Wilson's. Least Flycatchers appeared to be more numerous. Most warblers were singing, especially Black-throated Green that seemed to be everywhere.
Steve and I heard a Brown Creeper on Tulip Tree Trail--an uncommon bird by this date. Farther down Harrison Trail there were some warblers including an Orange-crowned. Blackburnians were numerous, as well as Magnolias. A male Cerulean off Bennett Road was a nice find today. I came across only my third Blue-winged Warbler of the year today. I wonder where they all are this year?
An Ovenbird near the visitor centre hobbled around on a broken leg.
Bonaparte's Gulls were in large numbers on the lake, but nothing else appeared to be with them. As well, huge numbers of swallows were travelling along the lakeshore. Thousands were seen yesterday off Erie Beach.
At home today, I noted another Pine Siskin at the feeder.
i love birds and photography and i think that your hobby demands a lot of time but gives you a lot of fun! :)
