Thursday, May 11


Our plan was to drive from Ottawa to Toronto and spend the night with Colin and Hilda in their condo. Highway 401 was closed at Kingston because of a large accident, so we went the old way via Highway 7 to Tweed. We stopped in Tweed to check out the flooded Stoco Lake, where we saw Caspian Terns on a dock. South of Tweed we visited the Vanderwater Conservation Area, where we hiked some lovely trails up and down hills by the Moira River. We saw a Great Blue Heron and Northern Flicker, as well as lots of turtles, frogs and butterflies.



Our next stop was Thickson's Woods at Oshawa. It was a pleasant walk around the trails but there were not the variety of birds we had seen last May in the woods. We did spot a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-throated Sparrow, Black-throated Blue Warbler and Northern Flicker.

Then we hiked all around the Pollution Control Plant where we saw aGray Catbird, a female Red-winged Blackbird, and American Goldfinch.



Then it was time to carry on to Toronto where we enjoyed the amazing view of the Humber River and a red sunset from the Wooles' condo as we shared our homemade dinner together.

Friday, May 12



We left Toronto after an early breakfast, and drove straight to the Pelee Island Ferry Terminal in Leamington. There was already a line of cars including Gord & Anne's and Martha and Colin's. On the dock, there were several gulls, including Herring, Bonaparte's and Ring-billed. Northern Rough-winged Swallows were zooming all around the harbour and an exciting shorebird turned out to be only a Killdeer.



We had a pleasant crossing on the ferry chatting with our Ottawa and Toronto birders.



The only bird of note was Double-crested Cormorant, of which there were many.



When the ferry docked on the island, Martin and Kathy were waiting for us to lead us to the Wandering Pheasant. But first, Barbara dashed into the Pelee Island Heritage Centre to find out the time and place for the Springsong Banquet which we were going to attend the next evening. While the others went ahead, Robert and Deidre kindly waited to lead us to our lodgings. Martin showed us to our rooms upstairs and then we all convened outside to chat about the program ahead. A Cape May Warbler provided a significant distraction.



Martin led our caravan on a tour of the island, stopping to show us a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Purple Martin colonym, a Yellow-rumped Warbler and an Osprey that soared overhead.



He took us to the Anchor and Wheel restaurant where Cedar Waxwings and Baltimore Orioles were devouring the apple blossoms.



A quick visit to Lighthouse Point yielded nothing new, so we returned to the Anchor and Wheel for a fish dinner.

Saturday, May 13



As this was our anniversary, we started the morning with some tasty champagne and orange juice before joining the others at 6 am in the kitchen of the Wandering Pheasant for the muffins and coffee provided each day by the friendly owner Sandra Laranja.



Then it was off to Fish Point. We hiked though the forest to the long sandy point stretching out into Lake Eire. The warblers were at the very tops of the trees, so difficult to photograph, but we did get some good sightings. On the water, there were lots of Red-breasted Mergansers and a Common Loon. A Red-bellied Woodpecker flew over and perched briefly in a distant tree. A Yellow Warbler, Cape May and Palm Warblers were working the bushes along the shore. A few thrushes and flycatchers were spotted in the forest.



We visited Pelee Island Winery where we could purchase some wine and souvenirs. A Killdeer was nesting right in the small circular garden out front. An American Robin was nesting on a post at the end of a row of grape vines.



We photographed a White-crowned Sparrow and a couple of beautiful Baltimore Orioles. Hawks circled overhead. We proceeded to the nearby Legion for a late lunch.



After lunch, we went down the road towards South Bay where we saw a nesting Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, a Nashville Warbler, and a Cooper's Hawk. We went to a wet field and observed some Black-bellied Plovers and other shorebirds in the scopes.



Later on, we returned to Lighthouse Point. Martin told us to keep on the lookout for turtles in the ditches as we drove to the trailhead. Martin showed as an island long-tailed squirrel. When we arrived at the lighthouse, there were hundreds of Blue Jays migrating over the point. On the hill behind the lighthouse, Hilda and Bill spotted a Peregrine Falcon capturing a Blue Jay. It flew up to a perch on a tall tree, landing with the bird in its talons. Soon it killed and devoured it. We had good binocular views and were able to get photos. This was certainly a birding highlight. On the way back to our cars we saw an Eastern Phoebe and an Eastern Kingbird.



When we returned to the Wandering Pheasant in the late afternoon we toasted our 50th anniversary with a 50s beer under the watchful eye of the resident Turkey Vulture.



That evening, we went to the Springsong Banquet at the winery, while everyone else went back to the Anchor and Wheel or simply stayed at the Wandering Pheasant for a picnic supper. The Springsong Banquet is a well-attended annual fundraiser for the Pelee Island Heritage Centre organized, in part, by Margaret Atwood. It was a lot of fun with many jokes led by Margaret and the rubber chicken band (you had to be there). We happened to sit with birders who had participated in the big day birdathon, which was enlightening. Each year, Margaret invites a guest author to come; this year it was a young Newfoundland author and poet, Michael Crummey. Overall the banquet was a delicious dinner/wine with an auction and some fun entertainment from the island locals.

Sunday, May 14



Like Saturday, Sunday started at 6am with muffins and coffee. We were up a bit earlier to check out the impressive sunrise over the lake.



Returning to Fish Point, there were some other birders observing two Sanderlings right at the point. We got some good views too. At the point, through our binoculars we sighted a large White Pelican resting with some cormorants and gulls on a rocky island. We had a repeat of birds from the day before and a lovely cooperative Indigo Bunting in the woods. While at the point, Martin got a call that a Kirtland's Warbler was seen at the other end of the island at Sheridan Point. Rare bird! Off we went. Unfortunately, we did not see any sign of it, but we did see a few good warblers - Cape May, Black and White, Blackburnian, Northern Parula - and a Scarlet Tanager.



Then it was back to the Legion for Mother's Day brunch. Leftovers from the Springsong Banquet were on offer, as the Legion had been the caterer. Good food!



We visited the Stone Road Alvar. We hiked along a narrow trail through the brush and found a few birds such Yellow Warblers. We turned several tin squares on the ground that were placed there to give shelter for animals. One had a melanistic garter snake under it.



Later on at the banding station, an Eastern Fox Snake had taken up residence in an old house trailer on site.



We were invited to happy hour at Sandra's friend Rob's house across the road (BYOB). Rob, like Sandra, was originally from Sarnia. He worked as a nature consultant and had even sailed to Antarctica in the role of birding expert! He showed us around his interesting house which he built off the grid. His feeders attracted quite a few good birds.



Some birders went back to the Anchor and Wheel, but four of us opted to picnic on the snacks we had brought to the Wandering Pheasant. Colin said that the Orioles and Red-headed Woodpeckers come in over the supper hour; he was right! A short walk down the road got us on a couple of the red-headed beauties. Baltimore Orioles, Barn Swallows and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds came to the feeders at the inn.

Monday, May 15



Before coffee and muffins this morning, we went down to the lake to see the beautiful sunrise. A Carolina Wren was calling and a Warbling Vireo and Eastern Kingbird greeted us.



We took a different route to Fish Point, and were rewarded with seeing a couple of Great Egrets on a dock. Finally we got a good view of a Ring-necked Pheasant in a field along the way.



Birding was a little easier in the woods to Fish Point this time, and we saw some good birds, including a Black and White Warbler, a Blackburnian Warbler, an Eastern Kingbird, a House Wren, and an Indigo Bunting.



We stood on the tip of Fish Point, the most southerly inhabited spot in Canada.



Then we went to Lighthouse Point where we saw a Snapping Turtle on the road (some of us assisted it to safely cross the road) and a Blanding's Turtle in the swamp. Kathy rescued a baby Midland Painted turtle swimming in Lake Eire and relocated it to a safer pond. No falcon this time, but we did see a Northern Water Snake, another Red-headed Woodpecker and a Cedar Waxwing. Migrating gulls flew over, demonstrating the well-know reverse migration.



We returned to the Wandering Pheasant to get our luggage, and were very pleased when Glen & Marilyn spotted a colourful immature male Summer Tanager in a nearby tree.



Then we went for ice cream. After a good break, we decided we had just enough time before the ferry to visit Sheridan Point one last time. There were birds to see, including yet another gorgeous Baltimore Oriole, but we were too rushed to make it really worthwhile. On the way to the ferry, we saw a Bald Eagle which was perched conveniently over the road. We enjoyed a quick lunch across from the ferry. As we were in the ferry line up we saw a Bonaparte's Gull swimming in the water.



We boarded the ferry and had a relaxing ride to Leamington, completing our trip bird list together. We have many good memories of our visit to Pelee Island.

Back in Leamington Colin guided us to our B&B, the Island View.



We got settled in, then enjoyed supper at our favourite Mennonite restaurant in Leamington. When we got back to the B&B, Barbara could not find her glasses anywhere. We searched high and low, then called the restaurant - no luck.

Tuesday, May 16

We had a nice breakfast at the B&B and headed off to Point Pelee for our guided hikes, which we had pre-arranged. It was raining but luckily for us stopped after we entered the park - free admission to celebrate Canada 150.



Our morning guide was Pete Read. The other morning guide was Bruce Di Labio from Ottawa. Hilda gave him a big hug, but he was leading the other group. Hilda and Colin were with him on a hike at Pelee last year, and he is well known to all four of us.

Pete's group took the tram to the point which was awash with water. We saw Jeff Skevington of Ottawa there watching for a hoped-for reverse migration. On the water there were Red-breasted Meransers and a Greater Scaup.



We worked our way slowly back to the pavilion on foot. The most interesting bird we saw was a Northern Parula. We also saw a Blackburnian Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and lots of male and female Orchard Orioles.



About 11 am, Pete declared that he had a lot of paperwork to do and would head back to the Visitor Centre. But not before he told us about the location of a nearby Prothonotary Warbler to find on our own. Boy was he right about that! What a beauty. Another good sighting was a Great Crested Flycatcher.



With a bit of time before the afternoon hike, we went down the Shuster Trail to Lake Erie, but it was fairly quiet. We had our picnic lunch at the Visitor Centre and reported in for the afternoon hike. The leader was Geof Burbridge from Chelsea, known to us through the OFNC. The whole rest of the group were absolute beginners, and Geof spent a lot of time with them trying to get a Yellow Warbler. We tagged along for awhile, but it soon became obvious that we were not going to see any more interesting birds on this hike. So we told him we would scout ahead, and took off down the Tilden Trail.



We were anxious to see the Blue Grosbeak we had heard was here. We saw a few warblers, including Nashville, a female Wood Duck in a tree, House Wren and an Indigo Bunting. Wherever there was a cluster of birders, we stopped to talk to them. In this way, we got good directions to where the female Blue Grosbeak was being seen in a tree in an open field. At first she was really skulking, but finally flew out from her tree to a low bush in the field. so we had good photo ops. It was very hot and sunny so we were happy to be on our way into the cooler forest again.



On the way back, we came to an apple tree in blosson with Cedar Waxwings and Orchard Orioles enjoying the bounty.

|

Back on Tilden Trail, we ecountered a Swainson's Thrush.



We made our way back to the Visitor Centre for an ice cream and break. There was Geof manning the information desk. We decided to drive to the Marsh Boardwalk. Colin and Bill walked the entire loop, and eventually saw a few Black Terns. Barbara and Hilda decided to rest in the shade, but got some good birds too, including a White-crowned Sparrow.



We decided to call it a day, but not without a stop at Pelee Wings nature store. Colin and Hilda's friend in Kingsville had invited us all for dinner, but she had fallen ill and had to cancel. So naturally, after freshening up at ou B&B, we went back to our Mennonite restaurant, and when we came through the door, the waitress gave Barbara her glasses!

Wednesday, May 17

After breakfast, we bade our hostess farewell, and drove to Rondeau Provincial Park. At the Visitor Centre, we found that our hoped-for Yellow-breasted Chat had not been seen for several days. Nevertheless, we did obtain precise directions on where to look. We checked out the feeders in the back, and then headed down the Tulip Tree Trail. A white-eyed Vireo had just left, but the Prothonotary Warbler did not disappoint. We also saw a Black and White Warler and a Red-eyed Vireo.



We then checked out a clearing on the South Trail, but the Chat was indeed not around today. Oh well. We had our picnic lunch, complete with entertainment by a Brown Thrasher and a Chipping Sparrow, then drove to the Spice Bush Trail at Bennett Avenue. What a lot of excitement on Bennett! Both the Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoos were being seen together along with a Scarlet Tanager and a Pileated Woodpecker (rare in this area).



We finally tore ourselves away to hike the Spice Bush Trail after glowing reports from other birders. We hiked all along one leg without seeing much, other than a Gray Catbird, but at the corner of the boardwalk where the trail turns, we hit the jackpot - Bay-breasted warblers, Blackburnian Warblers and another cooperative Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Returning to the van, we had two House Wrens and a Northern Flicker.



Needless to say, we had stayed longer than anticipated, and had to hightail it for Toronto. It was after 7 when we got there so went directly to Colin and Hilda's Thai restaurant. We had another good meal together, then retired to their condo for a well-earned rest.

Thursday, May 18

Our wonderful hosts, Colin and Hilda, got up early to have breakfast with us.

Barbara realized that her grandmother's former house in Toronto was just five minutes away, so, after saying goodbye to Colin and Hilda, we drove by to look at the house. Although it had been renovated, it was quite recognizable, as were the neighbours'.



Our next stop would be the Carden Alvar. Bill mistakenly thought it was near Peterborough and would be convenient on our way home. But as we drove straight north from Toronto, he gradually realized his error. Regardless, we eventually arrived at the Kirkfield Lift Lock, and, after a brief stop, carried on to Wylie Road, where we had to dodge massive potholes.



We saw a Brown Thrasher, Eastern Bluebirds, a Bobolink, Savannah Sparrow, an Eastern Phoebe and an Eastern Kingbird. But no Loggerhead Shrikes, Sedge Wrens or Upland Sandpipers. Oh well, we should have come earlier in the day.



It was great to finally see this area, famous in the Ontario birding world. It capped off our May 2017 birding adventure.
