This will not be a long post. This will not be a humorous post, or a well-thought out post, or even a very entertaining post. It is simply a post to say that I will be in Point Pelee National Park this Tuesday. I can't wait to see the people, the birds, to feel the energy.
Last year at this time I had hit the halfway point of my trip to Pelee. Two wonderful weeks. This year, I only get 3 days off to experience the Festival of Birds. I'll be leading my first-ever hikes for the Friends of Point Pelee, which I'm elated about. It will be a whirlwind, a brief stopover before I head back to the city. Of course, there are great places to bird here...Thommy Thompson (had a great day of birding there yesterday), High Park, Colonel Sam Smith's, Humber Bay, Thickson's Wood, Second Marsh...the list is staggering really) but none of these places will ever have the same effect on me as Pelee. My home away from home.
And of course, Happy Mother's Day.
