Dear Birders, This is a quick note to let people know there are still a few spaces left to visit the Lake Erie Archipelago Islands on Sat. May 26 and Sat. June 2, 2007 Specifically, two spaces remain on May 26 and one space for June 2. If you are already birding in the area, visiting the Lake Erie islands could be a worthwhile trip. The original notice is below. Sponsered by the Peaceful Parks Coalition The Lake Erie Archipelago Islands are home to the most remote and diverse colonial bird colonies on the Great Lakes. Colonial birds, such as great blue herons, black-crowned night herons, great egrets, and double-crested cormorants are present in numbers of national significance. The coastal area provides habitat for a variety of waterfowl and shorebirds, and herring gulls nest on the rocky shoreline. There is also a diverse non-colonial bird community. The Peaceful Parks Coalition is organizing boat tours visiting the colonies of East Sister Island and Middle Island scheduled for May 26 and 27, June 2 and 3, and June 9 and 10, 2007. The Lake Erie Archipelago Islands are a jewel in an otherwise congested and polluted Great Lakes. They are as undisturbed and wild as any area can be in the province. The dynamic but tranquility of the communal nesting bird colonies are both humbling and inspiring to witness. Cost is $100 per person. Tours are a full day and leave from the Cedar Island municipal marine in Kingsville at 10am. Space is limited. All boats are completely insured, medical certified and Transport Canada Safety inspected & approved.
