Download or read book Birding at Point Pelee written by Henrietta O'Neill and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A birder's history of one of Canada's most famous birding spots Birding at Point Pelee traces Point Pelee's story from the 1870s, to the national park's establishment in 1918, to present day, when as many as 50,000 birders visit the park in May during spring migration. The book portrays the backdrop against which the park was evolving, the scientific discoveries and changes in ornithological methods through the decades -- early specimen-collecting, bird banding, the development of binoculars and telescopes, the growth of nature photography, the shift from birding as science to birding as hobby -- as well as philosophical shifts and debates about amateur versus professional credentials, and the balance to strike between conservation and recreation. Thoroughly researched and lively, the story takes readers from the earliest days, when the birders were few but fervent, to today's international tourism phenomenon.

Book excerpt: "Point Pelee National Park occupies the most southerly 9 km of a cuspate foreland which extends 15 km into Lake Erie. Approximately 70% of the park consists of a marsh that is separated from Lake Erie by two barrier bars converging at the south to form Point Pelee's distinctive triangular shape. Although Point Pelee is Canada's smallest national park, it is internationally known as a world-class bird-watching site and a resting site for Monarch butterfly migration. Recent studies were undertaken to characterize the groundwater flow regime with the objective of assessing the potential for transport and the impact of septic-system derived nutrients on the marsh"--Abstract.

Download or read book RSPB Migration Hotspots written by Tim Harris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each spring and autumn hundreds of millions of birds - wildfowl, shorebirds, raptors, and passerines - migrate between higher and lower latitudes, or in some cases between high latitudes in the northern hemisphere and high latitudes in the southern hemisphere. In a handful of places around the world, a combination of geography, topography and climate combine to funnel migrant birds into narrow fronts, leading to migration hotspots, places where, for a few days each year, birds seem to be everywhere. The sight of thousands upon thousands of birds is one of nature's greatest wildlife spectacles. Migration Hotspots takes a look at 30 of the locations where the planet's most dramatic bird migration can be witnessed, from raptor bottlenecks such as Veracruz (Mexico) and the Strait of Messina (Italy) to places like Point Pelée (Canada) and Beidaihe (China) where spectacular falls of songbirds can take place. And from wetlands where huge numbers of waders stop over each spring and autumn to the great rarity islands of Scilly and Heligoland. The book covers each of the world's major avian flyways and features stunning photography throughout. The geographical reasons for the importance of each hotspot are explained, with a summary of the different birds that pass through and the best times of year to see them, and an introductory chapter summarises birds' migration strategies.
