Birding was excellent at Rondeau Park (Pointe aux Pins) this morning. Many warblers and vireos were flitting about and Swainson's Thrushes littered the trails.
I spent 2.5h on south point trail. In some locations I could stand in one spot for a lengthy period of time sorting through the birds.

Philadelphia Vireos were numerous--my favourite vireo.
At one point a multitude of Swainson's Thrushes was busily working a Sassafras tree. It was almost like a feeding frenzy! I could not get any decent photos of them though.

There were several Northern Parulas during the morning. I find these one of the 'prettier' warblers.
Some raptors were moving today, and some were perched.

| Turkey Vulture (juv) |
 |
| Kestrel |
 |
| Broad-winged Hawk |
Along Harrison Trail south of the pony barn, there was another good pocket of birds.
I stopped by Blenheim Lagoons as well, but the place was basically dead. I won't be going there anytime again soon! (Unless someone reports something of note).
