We went down to Point Pelee today to look for the Townsend's Solitare that has been hanging around for about 2 weeks.
At first we thought we were going to miss it as it had just left the immediate area.
About 15 minutes later it came back and put on a nice show while feeding on berries.
Myadestes townsendi
If you ever thought that you liked berries, check out a Townsend's Solitaire's appetite. One study suggested they would need to eat between 42,000 and 84,000 juniper berries to survive the winter. Now that is a lot of berries.

These photos were taken on May 10th which was the last day of my adventure with four friends to Point Pelee.
On this day we arose early in hopes of seeing an elusive Woodcock. We heard one but could not see it.
Janet and I hit the jackpot this morning. The other three took one last stroll to the Point. Janet and I decided to just walk to the shore closest to us. While we were sitting there this beautiful Blackpoll Warbler landed on the tree next to us! It was hungry and did not care that we were there taking photos!
Thanks everyone for your views, comments and fave's! They are appreciated!

A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak during spring migration in Point Pelee National Park near Leamington, Ontario. From the Cornell Lab about incubation:
“The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak takes a turn incubating the eggs for several hours during the day, while the female incubates the rest of the day and all night long. Both sexes sing quietly to each other when they exchange places. The male sometimes sings his normal song at full volume from inside the nest.”

Most usually hear the song of the Wood Thrush in the forest before they ever see one in its normal location foraging on the ground.
We did find this bird above us in the branches singing away in Point Pelee National Park, Ontario.

I recently went on a two week birding trip with four good friends. We travelled to Point Pelee for the first four days. I saw 32 lifers in that time span!
We also saw some wildlife that we do not get to see in our home town.
It was a great trip

This is "bird week" in Point Pelee National Park, Ontario, Canada. As the southernmost tip of Canada, the park hosts over 300 species of birds during a two to three week period. People from all over the world (twitchers) visit the park every May to document as many species as they can....
