MM Links July 2011 Week 2

Hello again from the Ice Queen who is still locked in her castle.


We live in the most southern town in Ontario. Point Pelee National Park is a 20-minute drive from our doorstep. If I am not mistaken it was 100 years ago that Canada opened its first National Park and we are proud to have been the first country in the world to preserve these beauitful areas for the people to visit and enjoy. Pelee National Park forms the southernmost point in mainland Canada (its latitudinal position is the same as the northernmost counties of California) and is part of a bird and butterfly migration corridor over Lake Erie. The point itself is a long finger of sand that juts out into Lake Erie and if you walk to the end of it you best be careful as the point extends half a mile out into the water. The Indians say the water is sacred.


The park is also famous for bird watchers - I think you call them Twitchers - and in the spring the town is overrun by these folks who watch thousands of birds fly over the forest. Of course the birds must rest and that is when the twitchers take their treasured pictures and record their sighting. The twitchers come from all over the world to watch the spring migration so our town can seem like a mini United Nations at this time. Another offshoot of the migration is that aircraft beginning their descent to Detroit airport sometimes have to be diverted.


Of course we have also folks who come to see the Carolinian Forest. The vast forest of deciduous trees which is the northern end of a broad belt which extends from the coastal zone of the Carolinas, northward between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains, to southern Ontario where the forests end. So lots and lots of different type of trees from flowering to fruit which attract animals not normally found in other parts or parks in Ontario.


It's a truly interesting place which cannot be explored all in one day and that is why most of us have yearly passes so we can go during all seasons.
