Field Trips and Events

Point Pelee, Ontario

August 30, 2008 (Saturday) 8:00 a.m.

Leader: Karl Overman

August may seem early for fall migration but for warblers, the end of August and the first few days of September are the peak time. That is why for years national birding tours have held warbler identification workshops Labor Day weekend at Pelee. Meet in the Visitor Center parking area. Remember to bring passport for entry into Canada and back into the U.S.

Metropolitan Beach Metropark

Hopefully fall migrants aplenty with summer temperatures still a reasonable expectation.
