The Pelee Island Heritage Centre will be sending an expert birder/naturalist to the Fish Point tip, Sunday May 18, from dawn until 6 p.m. to monitor the spring bird migration. Canada's southernmost bird guru will be sitting in one spot all day and will point out and identify birds around the tip area as well as answer all questions about birds, life, and love (though all answers may not be accurate). Feel free to take the pilgrimage (no mountain climbing here!) to the tip to hang out with our wise man (guy) for fun and wisdom and good birding.
