point pelée and hillman marsh

[gary yankech]

After a few years of absence, I finally made it out southwest to Pelee and Hillman Marsh. The weather was not so good Saturday (May 3)  but was a bit better on Sunday. I was unlucky on Saturday, not much was out, it windy, overcast, and spitting rain. Other birders had more luck. Sunday at Hillman's marsh was better. I saw a few life species I've been wanting to see for so long: Marbled Godwit, Black-bellied Plover, Forster's Tern, and Willet. Here are a few pics I was able to get. Enjoy!
