Finally, something of note showed up today at Rondeau while I was there. A Black Vulture! I happened to bump into Ian Richards and his wife and he mentioned that a Black Vulture was on the beach. I headed in that direction and sure enough it was in company with four Turkey Vultures.
Some beach walkers came along so the vultures moved a bit down the beach and perched in a tree.
The Turkey Vultures eventually took off but the Black stuck around for some time.
As other birders arrived, it decided to take flight. It was eventually found on Rondeau Road and perched there for a while for several local birders.
It was my first for the park....long overdue!
Things were still a bit slow, but birds are trickling in. A Pine Warbler was found today. Still very few Yellow-rumped! The end of this coming week should be considerably better for variety.
More things like Brown Thrashers were in.
I was at Rondeau yesterday as well, but found very little. Just too quiet! However it is nice to be out and thankfully parks are open during this shutdown.

This afternoon I went for a short stroll at McKeough CA in a spot not often walked. This whole area had the white version of Trout Lilly.
Will be out tomorrow checking for things!
