This morning I had some work down in Essex Region and decided to wake up early to do some bird watching at Point Pelee National Park beforehand. I'm really glad I did, because I was able to re-find the Worm-eating Warbler which had been on Chinquipin Trail for the past few days. After searching around in the area for a while I eventually heard the insect-like trill of this species and tracked it down. I had incredible views as the bird climbed up the trunk of a tree right in front of me!

After wandering around the tip of Pelee waiting for the tram to come pick me up, I spotted a bird hopping along on the edge of a bush. A beautiful Yellow-breasted Chat! I was thrilled, not one but two great warblers! This guy hung around for a minute or two and one other person saw it until it vanished into the undergrowth as only chats can do!

I stopped very quickly at Hillman Marsh and had hundreds of Black-bellied Plover (pictured below) as well as American Golden Plover, Dunlin, Short-billed Dowitcher, Ruddy Turnstone among others.

Can anyone guess what species these eggs belong to? Spotted in a wet hedgerow. I will post the answer shortly.
