The Colours of Point Pelee

Scarlet Tanager

a trail through Pt. Pelee

Just got back from a trip to Point Pelee, after spending three wonderful days with John, Carol & Cam - expert birders all - exploring the forests, marshes and mud flats of Canada's most southerly birding hotspots.


Behold the Scarlet Tanager! He has just arrived after a long trip from the tropics to mate and raise a brood before flying home in the fall.


The photos below can all be enlarged with a simple 'click' of the mouse.

Part of my pleasure is to simply 'BE' in a unique environment; one that I don't experience every day.

Ovenbird

Indigo Bunting

These close-ups of the Ovenbird (a type of warbler) and the Indigo Bunting were held by Bob Hall-Brookes, a bird-bander, who had just retrieved them from mist nets.
