Title: RFI birding in Essex county and nearby environs
Post by: Donberg on June 29, 2006, 10:47:36 AM

I am visiting Windsor for the next month from the West coast.  I would like help in finding several target species as well as any other uncommon species in the area.  I have visited this area many times in the past and have birded Pt. Pelee and Ojibway park in many summers-so I need little help in the common birds of these areas.  Perhaps some of these are not actually found in this area, but my Target species are:

Eastern Screech Owl - glaring hole in my life list
Sedge Wren
Northen and Louisiana waterthrush
Henslow's sparrow
Cerulean warbler
Acadian Flycatcher
Yellow-throated Vireo
and any resident warblers

Thanks for any help that you can give me.  Also are there any birding trips in the area during the month of July.  I would also be open to suggestions of areas within a days drive, though my transportation abilities are limited.  Feel free to reply directly to edelf@mnsi.net.

Thanks,
Don Berg

For the Eastern Screech, there's a fairly dependable one in Point Pelee NP itself. There's a specific hole and tree that it likes. We saw it about 1 1/2 years ago. Check in at the Visitors centre and ask about it.
