17th May 2011 Pt. Pelee

The day started as cold but fairly calm with the wind increasing to N3. We waled West Beach to the Point and then back to the Visitor's Center where we heard an Evening Grosbeak had been seen by the Point 'Pizza Hut' so we returned but without success. We then tried Sleepy Hollow and the Northwest Beach before the onset of heavy rain from 4pm.
