Outing Location: Perth: Perth Wildlife Reserve C.A.

Meeting Location: Southwest corner of the Canadian Tire parking lot in Perth, 45 Dufferin Street.

Overview, Targets, & Topics: Today we will explore A promising migrant landbird hotspot, Perth Wildlife C.A. This area has some excellent habitat, including: medium-growth swampland forest, extensive shrubby areas, cattail marshes, and pine forest.

A nice mix of landbird migrants are expected today, most especially given the warm weather and forecasted southerlies preceding the walk. Warblers such as: Ovenbird, Yellow-rumped, Palm, Pine, Yellow, Nashville, Northern Waterthush, and Black-throated Green are possible today along with plenty of migrant sparrows and other landbirds.
