Where to go for the long weekend?

[Drevni]

Hello everyone!

I am planning a birding trip for the long weekend and was wanting some advice as to where is a good place to go at this time of year. I have not much traveled to many spots west of Toronto, so that was my original plan. Of course, Point Pelee was the original idea, however I also saw Long Point Park on the way too, as well as other parks, like Rondeau. Going in that direction from Toronto, is there one spot that is better to visit than others? If so, where should I go? I know Point Pelee is quite a large park, but don't really know much about it or the others. Is it even worth it to go there at this time of year (even though I have never been in this area), or am I better off making another trip elsewhere?

Thank you all in advance!

I've never been to any of those locations at this time of year.  For me, it wouldn't be worth the drive.  They're all great spots for passerine migration in May, but most of the warblers and other passerines have already left.  Waterfowl, shorebirds, hawks, and sparrows are all on the move.  If I was looking for a major park along the lakes for birding at this time of year, I would probably choose Presquile.
