Plan to go to Point Pelee on 18th May. Is it too late?

Nope, it's better earlier in the month but there can still be lots of birds around later, with a few migrant warblers occasionally into early June.

In addition, there are some late migrants that those who go early to Pelee frequently miss:  Connecticut Warbler, both cuckoo species, Whimbrel, some of the Empidonax flycatchers.
