Point Pelee, Part II:

We continued to enjoy Tree Swallows at the Marsh Boardwalk. As we worked our way north from the tip, the wind continued to be strong and this little guy sought shelter in the cattails.

Blue-winged Teal enjoyed protection provided in the marshy area.

A Northern Harrier cruised the Marsh lands while we walked along the boardwalk. They hunt mostly small mammals and small birds, but they are capable of taking bigger prey like rabbits and ducks. They sometimes subdue larger animals by drowning them.

As we approached the boardwalk, we found a few Hermit Thrushes. They sometimes forage by "foot quivering" where they shake bits of grass with their feet to get insects.

Point Pelee hosted the highest density of Dutchman's Breeches that I have ever seen. They covered the forest floor.
