Title: Point Pelee - Red Phalarope and others
Post by: rcflier on September 23, 2012, 10:29:18 PM
My wife and I had a very exciting weekend at Holiday Beach ( saturday ) and Point Pelee today.

Highlights from the Point are that ( first) we were lucky enough to tag along with a few (very) expert birders this morning. Thanks to them for the id's. Please help me with the ones not identified.  There were also ( bazillions ) of Monarch Butterflys, gulls and Cormorants.

1. Red-Phalarope (winter plumage)
