MV Jiimaan
Fish PointI walked the census again early in the morning, but only a couple of Northern Waterthrushes were around. In the banding area, two more Black-and-White Warblers were in the nets, as well as a Northern Waterthrush. A Carolina Wren was also extracted.
I walked to Glacial Grooves again and noted many Lake Erie Watersnakes basking in the sun.
At lunch time I decided it was time to leave. Just down the road, I encountered one of the "dumb" Fox Squirrels. Many meet their demise on the roads. 
I wanted to check out the prairie area behind the winery. I got a brief look at a Fiery Skipper, and another skipper that mystifies me. I only got a brief look at it, but I thought it was a Leonard's. That species is not on the list, so I do not know what to make of it.

After eating lunch at the winery, I went over to the Heritage Museum. It was quite interesting. Then it was time to board the ferry for Leamington.
A couple of ships were passing in the channel. They were the Kaye E. Barker and the American Fortitude. The Fortitude is shown steaming west.
It was a great trip and I enjoyed visiting the various natural areas of the island. The island has lots to offer for the naturalist. I saw at least 28 species of butterflies and needless to say the White-M Hairsteak topped the list. No special birds were seen, but it was early in migration.
Thanks goes to the folks at the Pelee Island Bird Observatory!
