	Charliesbirdblog: Point Pelee, Ontario 18 May 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Point Pelee is a long spit of southern Canada that hangs down into Lake Erie towards the US State of Ohio.
		From a northerly migrating bird's point of view it is the first point of land at one of Erie's narrowest and southerly crossing-points: a haven of tall trees, rich wetlands, and an abundance of insect food.
		Like any migrant hot-spot there is a dependence on the "right" weather at Pelee: no wind or rain, no clouds or fog, no systems swirling to the left or the right and birds have a clear run to their favoured breeding-grounds and can pass high overhead or to the side.
