A birding visit to Long Point

The weather forecast was threatening thunderstorms today but we lucked out.  We had occasional showers while driving and a little fog off and on at Long Point Provincial Park.


We saw dozens of Yellow Warblers


Many Tree Swallows - this one was focused on nest building.


A gazillion Red-winged Blackbirds


A rather striking Eastern Kingbird


And a distant, zoomed in American Coot.


It was a great day!

  1. Beautiful photos. I love the sheen on the swallow's back.

  2. I don't know a lot of your birds but I do know and love little swallows. Not that one exactly, this one looks much more colourful than the ones I see.

  3. Our tree swallows are taking nesting material into the nest boxes at the cabin. Looks like three out of five might get occupied this year. Red-winged blackbirds are some of my favourites. We don't get them around here very often. I love their calls. - Margy
