Arrived in Canada on Tuesday and will be travelling around over the next 5 weeks. I will try to update this report as I go along in places where I have internet access.
Days 1 & 2 Long Point Area
We started at Long Point Marsh. Unfortunately the trail was closed because of breeding birds, however, as it was very windy this did not prove a major issue. Highlights: Sandhill Crane, c4 Northern Harrier and loads of Red-winged Blackbirds.
Moving on to the Observatory we got of out of the wind and in amongst the trees. Not many warblers as yet but we did get a single Black and White Warbler and lots of Yellow Warbler.
Out on the point proved very productive and we saw some good species. Highlights: 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole, a single Orchard Oriole, Scarlet Tanager.
At nearby Backus Park it was very quiet with the highlight a Green Heron in a tree.
Photos: Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole, Yellow Warbler, Tree Swallow and Green Heron.
