[ << | >> | ^^ ] 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.
