Good evening eh.
Today Naish McHugh and I visited Presqu'ile Prov. Park during a beautiful spring day (gloat
, gloat :wink: ) and we found some interesting birds as we roamed around and the following list a taste of birds down there.
Green-winged Teals, Blue-winged Teals, N. Shovelers, Redheads, Lesser Scaup, Green Heron, Common Moorhens, Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral and Spotted Sandpipers, Bonaparte's Gulls, Hairy and 2 Pileated Woodpeckers, Least Flycatchers, Brown Thrashers, White-breasted Nuthatch, Winter and House Wrens, lots of Purple Martins, Blue-winged, Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated green, 3 Pine, Palm and Black-and-white Warblers, and also Ovenbird, Lincoln's, White-crowned, Chipping and Field Sparrows, E. Towhees and Baltimore Orioles, plus a passle of the usual birds.
There are many Caspian Terns, Great Blue Herons and Black-crowned night-Herons overhead and the place seems full of Song Sparrows.
Note: - If you are birding the Lighthouse area at Presqu'ile Point be sure to walk onto the residential street just north of the lighthouse and go to a house on the right (about 3 houses up) and you will see a bird sightings board. This is the PRIVATE residence of Birder Fred Helleiner. Stop and talk and ask to enter your better sightings on his board. I did this morning but no sign of Fred so I took the liberty of entering some sightings.
Good Birding and back to the Islands.
