Point Pelee National Park and surrounding area is world-renowned for bird watching and migration.
Experience an unforgettable day of birds and wildlife with expert local guide Jeremy Bensette.
Spring Migration
Many bird watchers spend the whole year anticipating the peak of spring migration, a time of the year when the Point Pelee Area’s bird life explodes with colour and diversity after the winter season. Make sure to catch all the action with a guided birding day with a local pro. Read more and reserve your outing!
Summer Birding
The Point Pelee Area really comes alive in the summertime. With over 100 nesting bird species, a bit of ongoing migration, and countless interesting wildlife like turtles, wildflowers, insects, and more, there is always something exciting to be found. Make your summertime visit extra special with the guidance of a local pro!
Fall Migration
Fall migration birding may be Point Pelee’s best kept secret. It is easily as exciting as the popular spring migration, but the season lasts longer and the area is not as busy with people. Fall season offers great non-bird migration as well, like the famed Monarch butterflies. Read more and reserve a date for an outing with a local pro!
Your Birding Journey
Bird watching can be a fun casual hobby or an equally enjoyable full-time competitive lifestyle. It can be relaxed, social, high-energy, focused, etc. Some specialized birding interests include goals for high diversity, specific groups like warblers or ducks, rarities, or photography, to name a few. I would love to plan an outing that best suits your birding journey.
