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.
