Point Pelee National Park:
The Tip

The peninsula of Point Pelee is the Southernmost point of Canada. Every spring people from around the world visit the point for the opportunity to observe the sudden influx of migratory song birds. My mother, Miles and I visited the famous tip twice during my visit this May. One day was overcast and chilly, the other day was hot and spectacularly sunny. The following are a patchwork of the two days.

The washroom signage at the information center is so classically Canadian! It is rivaled only by my favorite classic Canadian sign, the electrocution warning sign.

My mother’s family visited the point often when she was little, and my Nana and grandfather were always watching one of her brothers like hawks. My uncle now lives in the Rockies and has broken every bone in his body on the mountains (but is happy and healthy).

{ On our sunny-day visit, we walked to the tip from the Woodland Nature Trail.
On our way back, we enjoyed the quiet trails, and did some novice bird-watching. }
