    Spring migration is just around the corner, and the Friends of Point Pelee National Park are inviting you to come celebrate at the 2023 Festival of Birds from May 1 - 22, 2023!

    Bring your binoculars, spotting scopes, and checklists and join the crowds of birders flocking to Point Pelee National park this May to enjoy some of the best bird watching Ontario has to offer! In addition to hundreds of species of migratory birds, this year you can learn about Savannah restoration and how it benefits birds, purchase festival merchandise, and complete the 100 species challenge to earn an exclusive Canada Warbler pin. You can also register for guided hikes throughout the day, and attend a series of talks.

Also it is a long spit of land that sticks down into Lake Erie, so it acts like a funnel for the tired birds after they flap their way north across the large open waterbody. A lot of the species you can see in May are migrating north on their way to Boreal, so you don't get a chance to see them again until the fall.   More ...
