Bird highlights today. Today was a slow day at Fish Point providing plenty of time to scope the numerous gulls and terns on the 2 kilometre long spit running into Lake Erie from Fish Point. At Light House Point we saw 8 species of warbler including a pair of NORTHERN PARULA. 23 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS flew over the Lake Henry towards the sandbar.
Total of species observed in May: 196 Paul Carter, Ron Tiessen Pelee Island Heritage Centre West Dock, Pelee Island, Ontario, N0R 1M0 (519) 724-2291 "pimuseum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------- There will be daily bird hikes on Pelee Island from May 5 until May 19.

Bird was heard singing & seen in a tree adjacent to Hwy #24 at the corner of the East Quarter Line Road (Walsingham) at 4 pm by Cecilia Verkley. There is a possibility that there are 2 birds as the song could be heard from 2 directions. The bird was seen at this location on Thursday as well.
