Saturday May 16

I started at Rondeau again this morning. There were fewer birds than yesterday, but some nice pockets of warblers, etc. More vireos and flycatchers were in plus Scarlet Tanagers. There were several Scarlet Tanagers. The one pictured here had some damage on its right flank. The feathers were sticking out, but otherwise it seemed normal in its behaviour.

Scarlet Tanager

A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird was along Harrison Trail....

The two Chats I saw and heard yesterday were still around. The one did not co-operate for a photo.

A Kirtland's Warbler was found at the park yesterday. Obviously I walked by that one at some point. You cannot get 'em all!

I headed over to Point Pelee after lunch since I was done at Rondeau. Upon arrival, I heard that a Plumbeous Vireo (possible) was seen in Tilden's Woods. I headed over there and only saw lots of warblers. Later I went back in and only caught a brief glimpse of the vireo, so I could not draw any conclusions on that. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

I also walked part of Woodland Trail. There were lots of warblers there too on the west side of it. Several Tennessee and Blackpoll were there. Must be getting later in migration......
