Day One, DorionWell, the weekend was FANTASTIC!
The weather couldn't have co-operated more, and some of us have sunburns to prove it!
Highlights for the birders this year, was Day One's Peregrine Falcon display. While the first group was at Ouimet Canyon in the morning, they watched 3 falcons flying around the canyon. One thrilled us by "stooping" down to catch a small bird.
When the second group was there in the afternoon, they watched a falcon catch a bat and take it to the rock face and snack on it! A great experience!
On Day Two at The Nipigon River Trail, we were able to watch a Marbled Godwit as it moved around the shallows at Sawmill Point. Another great bird was the Black-throated Green Warbler.
The total for this year was 97 species. A wonderful total, considering the migration hasn't completed yet. We were able to hear a lot of species, if not actually see them.

Hmmm, not sure...

Thanks so much! It's wonderful to hear all the positive comments (and there have been many). Glad you enjoyed your first Festival.
Hi Susan,
Would it be possible for you to email us a list of the 97 species that were seen?
Thanks,
