The last park visited on the guided tour today is Sheldon Marsh SNR a location with lots of interesting birds and quite a few other visitors

The first guided tour of the day leads us to Pipe Creek Wildlife Area seeing lots of birds including our only Hooded Warbler of the trip

We spend late evening in Ottawa NWR exploring some of the trails and finding martins and snakes all around us

In the evening based on a tip from a shopkeeper we explore Metzger Marsh seeing our only Cerulean Warbler and lots of other special birds

After lunch we explore Maumee Bay SP on a longer loop finding some special warblers including a Canada Warbler

On our second guided tour we have much better guides and more luck in finding warblers with the Canada Warbler being found on our own

In the evening we go to the public woodcock place which is quite popular with organized tours also and manage to see one after some waiting

After registering we visit the famous Magee Marsh Boardwalk full of birders and warblers and we explore it thoroughly adding quite a few warblers to our list

Our first trip is a bit of a hassle as we cannot register prior to it but we can join it luckily and then the guides are quite scattered but still we find quite a few birds

We spend four nights in a condo on the Lake Erie shore while exploring the many parks and preserves all around us for migrating birds
