????Spectacular Festival of Birds ???? Canada Migration @ Point Pelee National Park & Hillman Marsha
Welcome Birders!
I am very excited to present this video from the Spectacular Spring Festival of Birds @ Point Pelee National Park for their 100th Anniversary in Canada, hoping that it will help you get closer to the nature. This only represents a glimpse of what I experienced during this trip. We also visited Hillman Marsh to see shore birds. We were able to see over 100 different species of birds. You should get outside and try it yourself to observe this spectacular spring bird migration phenomena, which only happens once a year. Don't forget to add this trip in your to-do list during your amazing lives. You can find more details at my blog at:
I will appreciate if you like, subscribe, and/or share this video as this can help more people to appreciate nature by being in nature. It took me days to put this together. I hope it will be of some help to you and your families.
My family was able to win 100 Species Challenge for Gold (Prothonotary Warbler pin) and Silver (Blue-gray Gnatcatcher pin) levels. What an amazing learning experience it was! Please excuse me if I made some identification errors. I am relatively new to birding and I have tried my best to identify birds based on my notes taken during sessions with the experts. I also used iOS apps for identifying birds. If your expert eyes find a mistake then please help me learn by sharing your feedback.
Point Pelee is celebrating special milestone this year - it's 100th anniversary. Birders played an integral part in the establishment of Point Pelee National Park in 1918. As we celebrate the return of the songbirds this May, park is also reflecting on more than a century of birding in the park and surrounding area.
Park administration have reviewed on the works of ornithologists like Percy Taverner we see common themes that persist today - the species and migration patterns that excited those first ornithologists are the same as what brings so many people to experience Point Pelee today.
In the spirit of the centennial bird of the year represents Point Pelee - the Northern Cardinal. Described as the war birds by locals, Point Pelee was the first place this species was recorded in Canada and continues to be a favourite bird in the park today.
I would like to thanks hike leaders at Point Pelee for making this experience a great learning opportunity in a fun way. We were lucky to go on Hikes with following amazing leaders:
- Dave Milsoms, Director of OFO: Naturalist, birder with over 5,000 species seen on his life list
- Jody Allair, National Manager, Conservation Outreach at Bird Studies Canada
- Amanda Guercio, Bander-In-Charge at Delta Marsh Bird Observatory
