Pelee Island BIRDZ! - July 4-6



Not too much to report on the bird front at Pelee... Frig..


Randoms:

Fish Point is still huge... Great for all of your Ring-billed Gull needs.... Noteworthy was a few migrant adult Bonaparte's on July 5th...


Least Sandpipers -- only true migrant shorebirds I saw...

American Coot - one at Middle Point...

Swainson's Thrush - one singing at the SE corner of the Island at dusk on the 5th (explain that one...)

Lesser Black-backed Gull - one 3rd alt in a farm field

Dickcissel - 4+ birds at the NE corner of the island




And yeah... Didn't look for birds too much.... I had an Upland Sandpiper on Hwy 3 between Wheatley and Blenheim on the drive home, looking like a fine fall migrant...
