  1. Point Pelee: A Monarch Superhighway

    While famous for birding, Point Pelee National Park is also a critical stop on the monarch butterfly migration. In autumn, tens of thousands of monarchs gather at the park's southern tip, resting & waiting for favourable winds before making the perilous flight across Lake Erie. This natural spectacle turns the park's trees orange and black with butterflies. #Canada #PointPelee #Monarchs #Migration 🇨🇦

  13. My attempt at shooting the #MilkyWay, shot Saturday night at #PointPelee National Park, a dark sky preserve. It’s a stack of six images blended together to bring out more of the detail.
    I thought about editing out the satellites, but in the end decided to leave them in.

  15. Good Morning #Canada
    The southernmost point of Canada may not be far enough to be a warm holiday spot in mid-February, but it's one of the most interesting parts of our country. Point Pelee was made a national park in 1918 at the urging of birdwatchers and hunters. It is our smallest national park and an important resting area for migratory birds. I'm adding it to my list of Canadian parks to visit.

  16. Day 4 of the #CanadaTrip - the Whip-poor-will (see prev post) was good to see but so were these...

  17. Day 4 of the #CanadaTrip and we spent a final morning at Point Pelee before moving on to Hillman marsh. A group of 19 Turkey Vulture rode a thermal along with 5 Broad-winged Hawk; Orchard Oriole was seen again and we had to have a final look at Prothonotary Warbler. Before we left the Park, news came of an unusual sighting. Many visitors headed for the spot but I'm glad to say the bird was not disturbed.

  18. Day 3 of the trip to #Canada We got up early to ensure we could get to the tip of Point Pelee National Park (the southernmost point of mainland #Canada) in time for #sunrise. We managed it and saw a 'reverse migration' where birds appear to head south (instead of north). What an experience and our first good day of #warbler species. Fabulous.
