[Ontbirds]Western Tanager at Rondeau

[Slavik, Emily (MNR)]

Good morning,

 

A male first-year Western Tanager was seen at 7:15 this morning on the
South Point Trail (just before the washout - Lakeshore Rd. side), by
Blake Mann and Steve Charbonneau.  There was a female Hooded Warbler in
the same location.

 

The Harris's Sparrow is still frequenting the feeders at the Visitor
Centre.  An Orchard Oriole and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird  showed up
there late yesterday.   Other feeder birds included Clay-coloured, Field
and Lincoln's Sparrow, Red-headed Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker,
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, many others.  

 

The Prothonotary was still visiting the Log Pond at the Pony Barn
yesterday afternoon.

 

Good Birding,

Carolyn King for Steve LaForest.
