"The locals were very friendly and extremely helpful and Warbler
migration at Point Pelee was awesome with very close views of many
species of migrant Wood Warblers. I would thoroughly recommend it to
everyone. Also bumped into Alan Gillanders there!!"
Yes the things you see when you don't have a rifle!
The Point was wonderful with almost as many birders as birds. The locals
were very helpful (both staff and volunteers), the notice and message boards
useful and the weather mostly accommodating. I needed some time to relax so
one wet and windy day was acceptable.
Maria and I stayed at Darquin Cottage right on the Lake and close to the
National Park at Point Pelee. I would reccommend it to birders. the yard
list for our four days would have been over fifty species and included
Summer Tanager, Swainson's Thrush, Redheaded Woodpecker, four species of
swallow, Kingbird, Catbird, Ruby Kinglet and about four species of warblers.

course and it was fun to watch the swallows following the tractors mowing
the grass.
Crane numbers are still building here on the Atherton Tablelands.
