I just spent the past week or so in Point Pelee National Park in Ontario while waiting for some paperwork to come through from Toronto. I couldn't have picked a better spot to spend that time; though Pelee didn't experience one of it's famous fallouts, the birds were very much there. It just took more effort to find them.
I managed to photograph *five* new species of warblers for me, including a couple of life-birds -- a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER and an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. However, the show-stopper was a gorgeous male CERULEAN WARBLER that fed one entire afternoon at about eye-level. Another life-bird on my final day was a brilliant RED-HEADED WOODPECKER (no good pictures unfortunately). In total, I tallied 24 species of warblers during my time there -- could have been 25, if I hadn't missed a KIRTLAND'S WARBLER by a few minutes.
