Birding Hotspots in Ontario! Rondeau Provincial Park
Join Stewart on this journey to one of the most renowned Birding Hotspots in Ontario! Rondeau Provincial Park, located on the north shore of Lake Erie, is known for its Old Growth Carolinian Forest and its proximity to Lake Erie. Migrant Songbirds are the Park’s main attraction at this time of year.
The target species are Warblers in their Spring Plumage as they pass through the Park on the way to their breeding grounds. In addition, Flycatchers, Thrushes, Vireos, Orioles, Indigo Buntings and Scarlet Tanagers are sought after species at this time of year.
The “Star of the Show” is often the Prothonotary Warbler which is an Endangered Species in Ontario. Rondeau is usually one of the most reliable places in the Province to see this special bird.
The group will convene at 8:00 AM at the parking lot inside the Park Gate. There is a fee to enter the Park. Please dress according to the weather conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes. The terrain is flat and generally dry. The actual outing will start at “Warbler Way” and clean bathrooms are available there, as well as throughout the Park.
Looking forward to seeing you at Rondeau for a Fun day of birding!
Please bring your binoculars, snacks and water for this excursion. The excursion will proceed RAIN OR SHINE.
