Pelee Island is quickly becoming one of my favourite spring birding destinations in Ontario. Though situated in the middle of Lake Erie only a few kilometres southwest of the much more famous Point Pelee National Park, Pelee Island feels like it is a world away. There is a quiet way of life here. Many of the roads aren't paved, and much of the 15 km x 6 km island consists of well-drained agricultural fields. Only 200-300 people live on the island year round, and they are a resilient bunch. During the summer months the population swells to around 1,500, augmented by cottagers from mainly Ontario or Ohio. Indeed, even the author Margaret Atwood has a summer home here.  Philadelphia Vireo - Fish Point, Pelee Island
