My next blog post covers my time on Pelee Island this spring. Here is the link:

I've spent more and more time on Pelee Island in the last few springs in an attempt to avoid the crowds at Point Pelee. It's a different vibe on the island - there are very few others birders, so you have to find all your own birds instead of just following the Discord sightings, but that makes it all the more rewarding! My brief five nights on Pelee Island this spring were very rewarding, with highlights including Loggerhead Shrike, Piping Plover, Cerulean Warbler, tons of White-eyed Vireos and one of the best warbler "fallouts" I've ever seen. I had a blast leading some private tours as well, and the birds cooperated. Can't wait for next year!
