Ontbirders,
I've not read any postings from Point Pelee that I can think of this
month. I have been thinking of going on Sunday, but it has occurred
to me that it may not be open, etc. Are the trails open? Is it
business as usual? If so, how is migration going there?
Thanks for any advise you can offer.
Best,
Cathy Carroll
