Can you name me? This bird was photographed at Point Pelee National Park. I've been told it may be a female Scarlet Tanager. Thanks Jon for the I.D. - Scarlet Tanager, female (Piranga olivacea)
Explored.
Taken last weekend at Point Pelee National Park. It was such a great day out there with the fog!! This has minimal editing...conversion to bw with some tonal contrast and level adjustment.

A Black Tern nests on a floating mud mound in the marsh wetland of Point Pelee National Park. They usually nest either on floating material in a marsh or on the ground very close to water, laying 2–4 eggs. Looking close at this photo reveals at least one of her eggs. Point Pelee National Park in Canada boasts a robust population of black terns.
On the boardwalk at Point Pelee we saw this little guy in the marsh. #frog #nature #Nikon #D7200 #color #colour #green #kermitthefrog #boardwalk #PointPelee #Canada150 #nationalpark
Taken during a short stop by Lake Erie,on our way to Point Pelee national Park. Obviously we saw some active weather that day!
La plus belle observation de tous mes voyages à Pointe Pelée (5)...la très très rare Paruline de Kirtland.
Selon le gouvernement de l'Ontario : "l’aire de nidification de cette paruline est l’un des plus petits de tous les oiseaux de l’Amérique du Nord. Ils nichent presque exclusivement dans un petit nombre de comtés du centre du Michigan" www.ontario.ca/fr/page/paruline-de-kirtland
Il y aurait moins de 5 000 individus de cette espèce manacée!
All day it was overcast with light rain but we totally enjoyed seeing these birds.
Taken @ Point Pelee, Ontario, Canada.

Pulling from an archive. This is taken at the Marsh Boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Ontario. This National park marks the most southern point in Canada. Borrowed a friends lensbaby to capture this image.
A Prothonotary Warbler hunts for insects around a partially submerged wooden log in a forest in Point Pelee National Park, in Ontario, Canada.
Reinata Protonotaria - Paruline orangee
This species is endangered in Ontario, where it nests in a few locations on the north shore of Lake Erie. This May, in Point Pelee National Park, this little guy stole the show and may be the most photographed Protho ever.

A Barn Swallow comes in for a landing near a watchful neighbour, at Point Pelee National Park, in Southern Ontario, Canada.
I really love how this Prothonotary Warbler appears to be shouting, rather than warbling. Seen in Point Pelee National Park, Ontario.
Common Five-lined Skinks like to bask on sunny rocks and logs to maintain a preferred body temperature (28-36°C). During the winter, they hibernate in crevices among rocks or buried in the soil. This adult was seen at Point Pelee National Park, in Southern Ontario, Canada.
I recently went on a two week birding trip with four good friends. We travelled to Point Pelee for the first four days. I saw 32 lifers in that time span!
We also saw some wildlife and flora that we do not get to see in our home town.
This robin was on a huge nest at eye level right beside the trail! No way she was moving!
It was a great trip
Thanks all for your views, comments and faves!
Just added another 13 extra photos tonight, taken on Day 4 of our trip to Point Pelee (Ontario) and Tadoussac (Quebec). I did not take many photos on this last day at Point Pelee. Had some nice sightings, though, including another Raccoon and a few Warbler species that I had never seen before. Before we went on this holiday, I had never seen a Raccoon, but had longed to. We do get them in Calgary, but not often seen by anyone. I was so happy that we saw three individuals in Ontario - two very high up in trees and one on the ground in someone's front garden. No decent shots of any of them, but still thrilled to bits.
Day 4 of our holiday was 10 May 2018. We had a ridiiculously early start to the day, as we had been told that American Woodcocks (Scolopax minor) tend to gather in and around the hotel parking lot. That information was just too good to ignore, so I think it was sometime after 4:00 am that we were out there, searching. As it turned out, in vain, though we did hear two individuals vocalizing in the dark bushes across the road. The American Woodcock is "a small chunky shorebird species found primarily in the eastern half of North America. Woodcocks spend most of their time on the ground in brushy, young-forest habitats, where the birds' brown, black, and gray plumage provides excellent camouflage." From Wikipedia.

This last day was spent at Pt Pelee, walking a few trails including at The Tip again. We also drove to The Onion Fields, just north of Pt Pelee, between Hillman Marsh and Pt Pelee, where we had a great sighting - a very, very distant male Snowy Owl, sitting way out in a field, next to a white post!! Awful photos, but will eventually post one of them, just for the record. As always, I did not manage to see every species of bird this day, but was happy to see at least some of them!
The next morning, 11 May, we had to do the very long drive from Pelee to Toronto, where we caught a plane to Quebec City, arriving there at 2:45 pm. From there, we had a long drive east to reach the small village of Tadoussac on the St. Lawrence Seaway. There, we would be staying for a week at the summer 'cabin' of one of our group of friends.

A young Great Horned Owl trying to stay out of sight, but how could anyone miss those eyes? I found this guy out of his nest in a nearby tree a few days later.
You can see that shot here.

A male Red-Winged Blackbird stops for a rest on a stick at a small pond at the Marsh Walk, Point Pelee Ontario Canada
Some ominous, early morning clouds at the tip of Point Pelee National Park, Ontario. This spit of land pointing into Lake Erie is the southernmost part of mainland Canada, many Americans will be surprised to hear that it is on the same parallel as northern California! It is also a birdwatching mecca in Spring as thousands of songbirds rest there after their long flights from points far south. The small birds trickle back to their winter homes over the summer and fall, but there is a different kind of migratory activity in autumn. Fall migrations to watch from Point Pelee include raptors, monarch butterflies and dragonflies.

Two Great Horned Owl chicks sit up in their nest at Point Pelee National Park, in Southern Ontario, Canada. The smaller chick's face is partially blocked by a branch with leaves.
These photos were taken on May 10th which was the last day of my adventure with four friends to Point Pelee.
On this day we arose early in hopes of seeing an elusive Woodcock. We heard one but could not see it.
This was truly the prize! It's possible that I will never see one again. Very pleased we were able to get photos!
Thanks everyone for your views, comments and fave's! They are appreciated!

Not every trip goes as planned. We had anticipated a short walk in Point Pelee National Park, but due to the road being closed for construction, we either walked 12 km's return distance to see the famous "Tip of Canada," or miss it.
A wild turkey hen takes a dust bath in the sand in the Cactus Field in Point Pelee National Park. You will note some burned wood in the frame as well. We saw several similar patches throughout the park which must be. I assume, some controlled burns by park staff.

A tireless songster, the Red-eyed Vireo is one of the most common summer residents of Eastern forests. These neat, olive-green and white songbirds have a crisp head pattern of grey, black, and white. Their brief but incessant songs—sometimes more than 20,000 per day by a single male—contribute to the characteristic sound of an Eastern forest in summer. When fall arrives, they head for the Amazon basin, fueled by a summer of plucking caterpillars from leaves in the treetops.

Tomorrow is a very busy day for me, so I won't be posting any photos - ha, did I hear a multitude of sighs of relief? About another 8 photos and I should be finished with Day 3 of my trip to Pt Pelee (Ontario) and Tadoussac (Quebec) in May 2018.
The DeLaurier Homestead and Trail was such a delight to visit in Point Pelee. I was in seventh heaven, photographing this beautiful old house and the nearby barn. The photo colours vary mainly because I used two different cameras.
"DeLaurier House is approached along a boardwalk at the western edge of the marsh lands at Point Pelee National Park. It is a two-storey, gable-roofed structure, which incorporates two attached log houses. The dwelling is clad in board and batten siding and the shingled roof exhibits two roof pitches with one brick chimney. Windows and doors are asymmetrically arranged on the walls of the house. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
DeLaurier House is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental value.
DeLaurier House is associated with the early settlement of the Point Pelee area. It illustrates the life and times of a small French-Canadian community outside Québec and the agricultural activity on Point Pelee between 1850 and 1966. The reclamation of marshland led to Point Pelee becoming one of Canada’s finest agricultural areas in the latter half of the 19th century. The house is also associated with its builder, Oliver DeLaurier, and with his descendants. The house was used as a neighbourhood tavern for local parties and for community dances. In addition, the house is the oldest remaining structure and illustrates the development of export-oriented farming at Point Pelee during the late 19th century. It is now the interpretive center for the Point Pelee National Park.
DeLaurier House is valued for its good aesthetic and functional design. The integration of the two, simple log houses shows Olivier DeLaurier’s resourcefulness despite limited income and construction experience. The interior also illustrates the building’s evolutionary nature, having been modified for use by two families in the early 1900s and later renovated to accommodate the interpretive programs of the park. Notable for its craftsmanship, the dwelling was clad in board and batten siding and finished with a shingle roof, in order to present a uniform appearance and to demonstrate the DeLaurier’s improved economic and social status in the community."
