13th May 2011 Pt. Pelee

Awoke to foggy but calm conditions. We walked West Beach to the Point and then a stormy shower made us return to the Visitor's Center where we were told about a Bell's Vireo near the Point 'Pizza Hut' so we quickly made our way back there to see it. We then tried Northwest Beach. We made an evening visit to Hillman's Marsh where a considerable number and variety of Warblers were found including a male Cerulean Warbler.
