The birds definitely got the memo of the weather still being hot, less birds around than yesterday for sure! The walk towards the back seen almost no birds and migrants were few and far between.
The back of the park was a little better, a few warblers, mostly Yellow and Wilson. There was a single female American Redstart nestled in between the thorns but there was nothing else nestling around, even the Magnolia Warblers were nowhere to be seen. Crazy slow, even the remainder of the park was slow. The lake had the typical swallows, and the Gnatcatchers were still screaming at me all over.
Not much to tell about today unfortunately, slow day, that starts to happen this time of year!
Bird of the Day - Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - These little birds breed in the southern part of Ontario and always seem angry (especially the males). Their constant screams are a common call throughout late spring time and into early summer. I also find they are some of the hardest birds to photograph, always moving and almost never sitting still, they definitely help you learn patience while taking photos!
