Point Pelee National Park也是观候鸟和蝴蝶迁徙的好地方,此处位于北纬42度的伊利湖北岸, 据说和罗马和巴塞罗那的纬度是一样的。由于地理环境、气候、土壤,加上湖畔的沙丘,适合各式 各样花草树木的生长。同时也引来稀有昆虫、以及动物栖息。 这里是每年北美侯鸟南北迁徙(Spring and Autumn Migration)必经之途。故有"the park the birds built"之美誉。 这个国家公园,20平方公里的面积,混合了多种动植物形态,湿地、卡罗林纳州式丛林森林、南美式牧草地以及海滨沙滩四种地貌,成为大量动物包括松鼠、浣熊、黄鼠狼、貂、蛇和共计上百种鸟类包括啄木鸟、黄莺、燕子、猫头鹰、红眼雀、布谷鸟等的栖息地。海滨上则是湖鸥、乌鸦和白头翁的家园。5月的第2、3周是最佳的观鸟时机。% B* P.
