Beskrivning

Blockhouse Point Conservation Park is a nice place to find all seven more often seen woodpeckers in the region - especially in winter. There is a good set of hiking trails, but birding is better in the clearings and near the river. Migration is decent, but there are better spots nearby (this is a good place to come after going to Violett's Lock for instance). In summer there are a few breeding warblers (mostly Ovenbirds, Louisiana Waterthrush and Worm-eating Warbler), Scarlet Tanagers are common, along with Yellow-billed Cuckoos and the more common flycatchers (Acadian, Great Crested and Eastern Wood-pewees). There are also Barred Owls present (dawn or dusk best) and the occasional Eastern Screech-Owl can be found.
