Birds on MVFN Point Pelee Trip 2016
A group of MVFN members enjoyed an inspiring trip to Point Pelee, May 9-12, 2016! During the trip they witnessed the beauty of spring and a rich abundance of bird life. There were many wonderful photographs by Howard Robinson, Peter Blancher, Wendy Moenig, Pam Hickman, Peter Anderson and others, recording the group of birders as well as the bird life seen. A few of these photographs are included below.
Below the photos is a complete list of bird species seen or heard each day by the MVFN group during the 4-day outing. The birds encountered are listed approximately in the order each species was first seen or heard. The list was compiled by Mary Robinson with review also by Cliff Bennett and Peter Blancher.
