A Bird Nerd in Paris

A Bird Nerd in Paris Pictures of birds around our property. In 2022 I started taking pictures of birds around our property, just to document them.

At Jan 2024 I had documented 97 different species of which 23 species are nesting here! Update: Sep 2025 116 species/33 nesting

Most of the warblers have continued north on their journey. Much quieter around the house.

Had 5 northern Rough winged swallows and 2 tree swallows flying around the pond. Two of the rough winged swallows landed on the golf cart roof while I was in it! I managed to get some video of one of them. Video in the comments below.

Tufted Titmouse!
Haven’t had one at the feeder in a couple years.

And so many Orioles! I counted 7 Baltimores at one time. They all came in during a storm and were snacking on the oranges I’d tossed on the ground. Whenever I put out fresh oranges, I throw the old ones on the ground to get cleaned out by squirrels, etc. I’ve never seen Orioles bother with them before.

The Golden-Winged Warbler returned to our yard!! 💕

* Golden-winged Warblers have experienced one of the steepest declines of all songbirds; conservation groups have begun the challenging task of increasing populations through raising awareness and increasing breeding habitats. (per Rondeau Provincial Park)*

Rondeau Provincial Park
Boblo Island, Amherstburg
Around the house

Migration is peaking.
A side trip to Rondeau, after leaving Amherstburg, to see a Prothonotary Warbler. Rondeau Park is a known breeding area for this warbler.

**************************************
The Prothonotary Warbler is a dazzling, golden-yellow songbird with blue-grey wings, known for its bright color and unique habit of nesting in tree cavities, often over water, in swampy forests. It is a species of concern, particularly in Canada where it's endangered due to habitat loss, a very small population and specific habitat needs. Its name comes from the bright yellow robes of papal clerks, and it primarily eats insects.
It is estimated that there are only 30 individuals in Canada. 😞

I’ve seen one in Florida before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one in Ontario and in my own back yard!
