Not a great photo but easily ID'able.
I also got 3other year birds while I was there, Black Tern, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and American Golden-Plover. These four birds bring my ON year list up to 249species.
I also managed to band, and extract, a lot of birds while I was there, my total species banded list is now currently at 50, and my total individuals banded at 175. My best bird banded probably being Northern Parula as of right now, which is also one of my favourite Warblers.
Lots of migrants coming through everywhere, Broad-winged Hawks, Sharp-shinned Hawks, and Cooper's Hawks have all start to migrate. Some of the late migrating passerines have started to show up on Long Point as well, yesterday at Breakwater a Blue-headed Vireo was banded. Also a Yellow-throated Vireo was seen that day. A few days earlier there were 3 Northern Parula's seen, as well as a Golden-winged Warbler. This was the second Golden-winged for the season there, the first was the day it opened and the day I got there. The last few days have been great for Blackpoll Warblers, they are starting to come in in very large numbers. There were 14 on ET's yesterday and 23 on the 1st. There are also lots of Red-breasted Nuthatches coming through with a good number of Purple Finches along with them.
That's all for today though,
Good Birding!
