Point Pelee National Park is an excellent place to go birding, especially in mid-May. Last time I went there I saw over 25 species of birds there including the Tree Swallows, Bald Eagles and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Which are all very colorful birds. Point Pelee is the most southern mainland in Ontario. I think I will see more birds this time at Point Pelee maybe even more than 50 species of birds! I think I will even make that my goal! The tip of Point Pelee is very dangerous and is almost surrounded by water. Even though the water may look calm, it is very rapid moving. Despite the appearance of the tip it is a wonderful place to go birding. I might consider volunteering in the birding competition. Unless it has changed.
When you first arrive at Point Pelee there will be a very long drive to get to the park, then you go through the gates on the left. Next you have to pay for visiting and go to the bird place which will give a check list of birds. Then you can begin birdwatching. Remember, always report your sightings to the computer in the bird place.

I always report my birds on E-bird (but have to do a little catching up, little behind)! Never been to Point Pelee!! Sounds like they have some great birds their!
Hello, Maybe I'll consider repporting my bird sightings on E-bird. Are you Tom Wood the author?
I can tell you his name is Tom LeBlanc.
I hope you have a very successful trip to Pelee, and wish I could go too!
