Lake Erie Spring Migration
From: $300 CAD
Join us for an exciting birding tour of the “Big 3” spring migration hotspots along the north shore of Lake Erie in southern Ontario.
On this scenic tour of extreme southwestern Ontario, we rendezvous with the myriad of neotropical and other migrants whose arrival coincides with our own. We will visit —Point Pelee, Rondeau and Long Point—we search for rare species in Canada such as Red-headed Woodpecker, White-eyed Vireo, Summer Tanager, Kentucky, Hooded and Prothonotary Warblers while sifting through flocks of beautiful Indigo Buntings, Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and dozens of warbler species!
No place is better for witnessing spring migration and anything can show up, with each day bringing in a different suite of birds. Carolinian forest woodlots near Long Point are home to breeders such as Yellow-throated Vireo, Louisiana Waterthrush and Cerulean Warbler, among others. This trip also offers an exclusive boat trip to the rarely visited tip of Long Point where you’ll glimpse the efforts of Citizen Scientists and biologists monitoring migration at the Long Point Bird Observatory, the oldest observatory in the Western Hemisphere.
