Subject: [Ontbirds]Connecticut Warbler, Ojibway Prairie Complex in
Windsor
From: "Pratt, Paul" <ppratt(AT)city.windsor.on.ca>
Date: 15 May 2008 10:55am
There was a heavy fallout of migrants overnight here in Windsor. Swainson's
Thrushes seem to be everywhere. By 10 am this morning we had reports of 23
species of warbler from the Ojibway area including a male Connecticut Warbler
found by Fred Urie at Spring Garden Natural Area.
The feeders at the nature centre have Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Rose-breasted
Grosbeak and Baltimore Oriole in addition to such regular species such as Tufted
Titmouse, Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch and Red-bellied
Woodpecker.
A red phase Eastern Screech-Owl is being seen during the day in one of the nest
boxes by the nature centre.
The Ojibway Nature Centre is located in the southwest corner of Windsor next to
the Windsor Raceway. Visit www.ojibway.ca for more detailed maps and directions.

Subject: [Ontbirds] Point Pelee Bird Update - May 15 - Kirtland's
Warbler & others
From: Janice.Sarkis(AT)pc.gc.ca
Date: 15 May 2008 12:09pm
Friends of Point Pelee provides daily updates of sightings within Point
Pelee National Park during the Festival of Birds May 3 through May 19, 2008
After a cool wet day of birding yesterday, sunny skies greeted birders
Thursday morning. The change in weather also brought in many new birds to
the Park, including a very vocal KIRTLAND'S WARBLER. It was observed my
many along the West beach trail south of the half-way stop (south of the
Visitor Centre).
Also drawing excitement were reports of the following:
At the Tip area
At least one adult plumaged Laughing Gull was spotted on the east side of
the tip. As for songbirds, Prairie Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Blackpoll
Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Clay-colored Sparrow, White-eyed Vireo, and
Red-headed Woodpecker were most sought after. Overall, a good selection of
species was present, many in song. Another Pine Siskin was at the Sparrow
Field
Between Tip Tram Loop and Visitor Centre
Two male Hooded Warblers, a male Golden-winged Warbler, Yellow-breasted
Chat and Yellow-throated Vireo were all seen along the main road.
Tilden Woods
A good variety of species were observed. Blackpoll Warbler, Bay-breasted
Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, amongst many others
were observed. Also present were lots of Indigo Buntings, several Scarlet
Tanagers, Lincoln's Sparrow, White-eyed Vireo on territory and two fly-over
Bald Eagles. Nearby, near the turn-off to the West Beach parking area, an
Eastern Screech-Owl was discovered. Also close by, an Orange-crowned
Warbler was observed along the Chinquapin Trail.
Schuster Trail
A Philadelphia Vireo and Wilson's Warbler were most noteworthy here. See
note below on Black Vulture.
Woodland Nature Trail
Several Black-billed Cuckoos were observed along the trail.
DeLaurier
An Acadian Flycatcher was reported from the SE part of the trail.
Hillman Marsh
The Mottled Duck continues to be reported from Hillman Marsh. It was
spotted this morning. Also present there were Willet and Little Gull.
Black Vulture
The Black Vulture reported yesterday from the East Beach (north of Schuster
Trail) is no longer present there. Due to its apparent poor condition, it
was captured and taken to a local rehabilitation centre.
Good Birding,
