FESTIVAL OF BIRDS IN FULL SWING AT POINT PELEE
Spring Migration has started at Point Pelee National Park with birders from all over the globe — with huge telephoto lenses and binoculars — hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the many rare bird species that have been recorded in the park. To date, there have been more than 360 species of birds spotted during migrations. The Festival of Birds runs from April 30 to May 23 with many daily bird watching hikes offered by Friends of Point Pelee.
Warblers are a bird watcher favourite and both the Yellow-Rumped and the Prothonotary Warbler were observed Sunday afternoon on the Woodland Trail near the Visitor Centre. Above left, a group of birders checks out some of the many warblers seen at Point Pelee. At right, a lone Prothonotary Warbler sits on a log on the Woodland Trail. The Prothonotary Warbler is endangered in Canada, so this find was a rare one. SUN photos by Deanne Bertrand
