Lots of bonies were loafing about, but nothing with them.
Three Red-breasted Mergansers were swimming off the south beach.
I heard Least Bittern in the usual spot near the end of marsh trail. A Blue-winged Teal took off out of the marsh.
A flock of 40 Rock Pigeons was circling about. Not often we seethis many rockies over the park!
Double-crested Cormorants are pretty thick right now. The islands in the Bay were covered with them and many were out on the lake.
I did not do much birding within forested area as the mosquitoes were rather bad today. The Prothonotary Warblers are still seen from Tulip Tree Trail. I have not heard about the elusive Yellow-throated Warblers lately!
I then went over to Blenheim lagoons and found two Lesser Yellowlegs in the sprinklers. These are the first southbound shorebirds I have seen.
Spotted with Lesser
Ducks included one Green-winged Teal and a female Hooded Merganser. A Pied-billed Grebe was also with the merg. A few Ruddy Ducks were also present.
Hopefully we will get some good viewing in July, as the lagoons are supposed to be closed later for dyke work.
