#PointPeleeNP has seen a lot of bicycles over the years!
Today is #WorldBicycleDay and it’s still the perfect time to head over for a bike ride.

Wild Columbine is in bloom!
Did you know its Latin name is Aquilegia canadensis which means “Columbine belonging to Canada"?
What better place to appreciate its beauty than in a national park like #PPNP!

Fish dinner anyone?
This Osprey was recently spotted cruising over #PPNP carrying some fresh takeout. Unsurprisingly, Ospreys’ diet consists mainly of fish!

As the Festival comes to a close, we’d like to thank everyone who came out and made it such a great success. And remember, even though the Festival has ended, bird migration will continue for a couple more weeks this spring.

One of the most common warblers you will see at Point Pelee is the Yellow Warbler.
During the summer months, you’ll hear their lovely songs ringing through the park and flashes of bright yellow along the roadsides.

You might find the plumage on this bird a little puzzling – it looks like a tie-dyed-tanager!
We often see these first year male Summer Tanagers at Point Pelee in spring and their plumage is a crazy combination of lime green and red.

Barn Swallows have been declining in numbers across their range in Canada.
You can find them building their nests structures like the Marsh Boardwalk tower – their amazing colours and acrobatic flight are worth seeing!

The Green Heron is found in Pelee’s marshes, usually feeding in the shallower areas of the marsh and along the canals near DeLaurier.

Red-eyed Vireos are one of the most prolific singers in the bird world.
Believe or not, one individual was recorded repeating its song more than 20,000 times in one day!

Mississippi Kites have very long, pointed wings and a buoyant flight unlike other birds of prey.
They are adept at catching insects on the wing and make flight look effortless. As their range slowly expands north, this species may become a more common visitor to the park.
