Point Pelee Bird Tour guides are calling today a "Spectacular" bird day!! See below for the great species seen this morning. Today's photo is of a pair of nesting bluebirds we had on our property a few years back- photo courtesy of Mervyn Sequeira.

Good morning birders,
Another beautiful day to bird in Point Pelee. Birding is spectacular with many late migrants being reported.

People are reporting CONNECTICUT, MOURNING, CANADA and WILSON’S WARBLERS on various trails in the Park. Also YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. A couple of CERULEAN WARBLERS have been found as well. Both BLACK-BILLED and YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS have been seen. A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT is still being
noted in the Cactus Field. PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS and RED-HEADED WOODPECKER are preparing their nest sites now. About 24 species of warbler have been seen in the Park so far today.

This is our last migration report of the season. Thanks for all the support from the birders who have come to the Festival of Birds and supported the Friends of Point Pelee through hikes, birder’s breakfast, and the Nook.

Good birding,
Pete, Mark, Felix, and all the other hike leaders (Stewart, Aaron, Julie, Max, Asher, Dale, Quinton, Julia, Sally, and Annika)

This morning's bird report found a few new warblers- they are still coming- slowly. Here's a juvenile oriole again by Mervyn Sequeira. We usually have a few pair of orioles that nest here and raise their young- orioles stay here until September usually.

Good morning birders,

Dunes continues again today. HOODED WARBLERS were reported at Sleepy Hollow

Good Birding,
Pete, Felix, Max, Julie, Mark, and Aaron.

And yet another photo from my Mervyn Sequeira archives to enjoy- hummingbird peeing while in flight. I remember the day he captured this moment- at our honeysuckle.

Here's today's bird report from Point Pelee- nice to see the warblers are showing up! At least 20 species at the Park this morning.
Here, at Wenzler's Landing we've had more Orioles showing up and the bird traffic is picking up. Love this photo of a finch doing a happy dance (by Mervyn Sequeira) - enjoy this stunning weather!

"Good morning birders,

Another lovely morning in the park with blue skies and sunshine! Some new
migrants arrived overnight, with many of the same species from the previous
day. The Tip had a few notable sightings including AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN,
a LEAST BITTERN sitting in a tree, and the first YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER
sighted during the 2026 Festival of Birds. A SCARLET TANAGER pleased many
observers.

The woods were similarly alive with birds, with at least three
YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS sighted on Redbud Trail, the Visitor Centre parking
lot, and Cactus Field. A few HOODED WARBLERS and BLUE-WINGED WARBLERS have
been spotted. A FISH CROW was seen observed flying over the Woodland Nature
Trail, likely the same individual that was first seen flying around the
Park yesterday afternoon.

At least 20 species of warblers have been observed today including NORTHERN
PARULA, BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER, PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, and BLACKBURNIAN
WARBLER.

Good birding,

Dale, Mark, Quinten, Asher, Max, and Aaron"
