Point Pelee...again :)

I headed to Point Pelee on the morning of October 1st.  It was a bright, beautiful fall day.  I don`t work Monday`s and I figured the housework could wait :) I had read Dwayne's blog over the weekend and he had found Virginia Rail and Sora at the Marsh Boardwalk, so I thought I would give it try...I haven't seen either of these birds before.  I didn't see them, but I did see the following birds, all of which are life birds!!

Eastern Phoebe

Swamp Sparrow

Rusty Blackbird

 The next three pictures are of the same species, but from different angles.  After a lot of time analysing these photos and thumbing through numerous field guides, I have identified this bird as a Nashville Warbler...please correct me if I am wrong...

Nashville Warbler or Common Yellow-throat?

Another pic showing yellow under tail.

The next life bird was the only one not found on the Marsh Boardwalk...it was found on the Woodland Nature trail...

Winter Wren

To say this was a great birding day for me is a total understatement!  I was all by myself and enjoyed the quiet time spent in God's creation.  I saw a bunch of other birds too....I will list them for you (and include pics when I was able to capture them):

Great Blue Heron

Red-winged Blackbird
Canada Goose

Wood Duck

Double-crested Cormorant
Blue Jay
Brown Creeper

Turkey Vultures...there are 17 in this picture.  There were about 50 moving over in total!

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Red-tailed Hawk

Downy Woodpecker

Dark-eyed Junco (there were a bunch on the Woodland Nature Trail entrance...I was surprised to see them so early)

Killdeer

Red-breasted Nuthatch

White-throated Sparrow

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Well, at least those are the ones I remember seeing...there may have been more.  I wrote down what I remembered as soon as I got home.  Such a great day and very happy I decided to skip the housework!
