American Redstart Not wanting to sit around, I headed down to Rondeau AGAIN. The weather has been too nice all week, so once again there were not many birds around....well, there were a few thousand gulls or more along Rondeau's east side if you like lots of gulls. Try and find a rare one....I give up!
Warblers were scattered about in small numbers, with the best spot near maintenance, similar to Saturday. Redstarts were the most common. Red-eyed Vireos were in big numbers, chasing each other.
Probably the same birds from Saturday were still around--similar numbers and species.
I headed over to Erieau after touring Rondeau. A few warblers were also along the rail trail. This is a good spot to hear or see rails (Sora, Virginia, iron). I heard a Sora today, but did not see it. Iron rails popped up every once in a while though.
I finally got one of those darn darners to perch for a photo. This one appears to be a Lance-tipped, one of the most common.
The lone Whimbrel is still in the same field. Not sure what its problem is! Too far for a photo.Along the beach were some Sanderlings and a couple of Semipalmated Plovers.
I heard a Black-bellied Plover call at one point, but did not see it.
Here at home, an immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird has been coming to the feeder for several days. Just a while ago, an odd pigeon with leg bands stopped in.
