This narrow finger of land stretching into Lake Erie becomes a natural landing pad for thousands of migrating birds each spring. When conditions line up, warblers drip from the trees, birds feed at eye level, and even seasoned birders find themselves laughing out loud at how unreal it feels. This tour is designed to capture that magic without rushing it — blending peak migration birding with time to rest, recharge, and actually enjoy what we’re seeing. Day 1 — Thursday, May 7 Arrival, Orientation & Welcome Dinner (Leamington) Guests arrive in Leamington during the afternoon and get settled. In the early evening, we’ll gather for a relaxed welcome dinner — a chance to meet your fellow birders, share birding stories, and set the tone for the days ahead. We’ll cover: What’s moving through Point Pelee right now How weather and wind shape migration days What makes spring warbler birding easier (and more fun) than you think No pressure. No quizzes. Just getting excited for what’s coming. Overnight: Leamington Day 2 — Friday, May 8 Point Pelee Magic + Woodcock Evening Display We’ll start early and head straight into Point Pelee National Park, often beginning at the famous Tip. After crossing Lake Erie overnight, migrants can arrive exhausted and hungry — which means birds feeding low, close, and often unconcerned with us. This is the kind of day where you might watch: Prothonotary Warbler glowing gold near wet woods Hooded Warbler popping in and out of shadowed understory Cerulean Warbler singing high above in fresh sky-blue plumage Blackburnian, Bay-breasted, Cape May, and Magnolia Warblers all in the same morning As the day unfolds, we’ll work our way through forest trails, edge habitat, and marsh boardwalks — always adjusting to where the birds want to be. In the afternoon, we’ll expand beyond the park to nearby hotspots like Hillman Marsh Conservation Area, an excellent location for shorebirds, waterfowl, and raptors moving north. After Dinner: American Woodcock Display After dinner, we’ll head out for one of spring’s most memorable natural spectacles — the American Woodcock display. At dusk, we’ll watch and listen as males perform their strange, beautiful courtship flight: nasal “peent” calls from open fields followed by spiraling ascents into the darkening sky. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it’s the kind of moment people talk about long after the trip ends. Overnight: Leamington Day 3 — Saturday, May 9 Peak Migration Morning + Intentional Rest Saturday morning is all about momentum. We’ll return to Point Pelee early, revisiting areas that were productive — or following fresh overnight arrivals. This is prime time for: Mixed warbler flocks moving through eye-level foliage Flycatchers, vireos, and thrushes appearing seemingly out of nowhere Unexpected visitors — because at Pelee, anything can show up Late morning, we’ll wrap up our field session and head back to Leamington. Afternoon: Rest, Recharge, Reset Birding at Point Pelee can be exhilarating — and surprisingly intense. Saturday afternoon is intentionally left open for rest and recovery: A nap A walk along the water Reviewing photos Or simply doing nothing at all This pause keeps energy high and eyes sharp for the remainder of the tour. In the late afternoon or early evening, we may head out again locally if conditions are right — or simply enjoy a relaxed dinner together, letting the day breathe. Overnight: Leamington Day 4 — Sunday, May 10 Final Morning & Farewell Lunch We’ll enjoy one last focused morning of birding, following overnight reports and revisiting favorite locations for a final dose of migration magic. Late morning, we’ll wrap up the tour with a farewell lunch, sharing highlights, lifers, and the moments that made this weekend special — from glowing warblers to spiraling woodcocks. Tour concludes after lunch. Why Point Pelee with Birding With Rick Spring migration at its most vivid and accessible Dozens of warblers often visible at eye level A relaxed, guest-focused pace that values experience over exhaustion Space to slow down, absorb it all, and actually enjoy the birds Point Pelee regularly delivers 80–100+ species in a day, but what people remember most isn’t the number — it’s that moment when a Prothonotary Warbler lights up the woods, or when birds seem to rain out of the sky. That’s what we’re here for. Includes All Accommodations, All Meals, Non-Alcoholic Beverages, Transportation, Park Entrance Fees.

In the afternoon, we’ll expand beyond the park to nearby hotspots like Hillman Marsh Conservation Area, an excellent location for shorebirds, waterfowl, and raptors moving north. After Dinner: American Woodcock Display After dinner, we’ll head out for one of spring’s most memorable natural spectacles — the American Woodcock display. At dusk, we’ll watch and listen as males perform their strange, beautiful courtship flight: nasal “peent” calls from open fields followed by spiraling ascents into the darkening sky. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it’s the kind of moment people talk about long after the trip ends. Overnight: Leamington Day 3 — Saturday, May 16 Peak Migration Morning + Intentional Rest Saturday morning is all about momentum. We’ll return to Point Pelee early, revisiting areas that were productive — or following fresh overnight arrivals. This is prime time for: Mixed warbler flocks moving through eye-level foliage Flycatchers, vireos, and thrushes appearing seemingly out of nowhere Unexpected visitors — because at Pelee, anything can show up Late morning, we’ll wrap up our field session and head back to Leamington. Afternoon: Rest, Recharge, Reset Birding at Point Pelee can be exhilarating — and surprisingly intense. Saturday afternoon is intentionally left open for rest and recovery: A nap A walk along the water Reviewing photos Or simply doing nothing at all This pause keeps energy high and eyes sharp for the remainder of the tour. In the late afternoon or early evening, we may head out again locally if conditions are right — or simply enjoy a relaxed dinner together, letting the day breathe. Overnight: Leamington Day 4 — Sunday, May 17 Final Morning & Farewell Lunch We’ll enjoy one last focused morning of birding, following overnight reports and revisiting favorite locations for a final dose of migration magic. Late morning, we’ll wrap up the tour with a farewell lunch, sharing highlights, lifers, and the moments that made this weekend special — from glowing warblers to spiraling woodcocks. Tour concludes after lunch. Why Point Pelee with Birding With Rick Spring migration at its most vivid and accessible Dozens of warblers often visible at eye level A relaxed, guest-focused pace that values experience over exhaustion Space to slow down, absorb it all, and actually enjoy the birds Point Pelee regularly delivers 80–100+ species in a day, but what people remember most isn’t the number — it’s that moment when a Prothonotary Warbler lights up the woods, or when birds seem to rain out of the sky. That’s what we’re here for. Includes All Accommodations, All Meals, Non-Alcoholic Beverages, Transportation, Park Entrance Fees. Does Not Include: Travel to/from Leamington, Travel Insurance, Alcoholic beverages, Personal Items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/bac5cb4f-36b3-4b78-969b-98874e0b3ef5/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+8.52.25%E2%80%AFAM.png Upcoming Retreats - Point Pelee Spring Migration - Dates & Cost Upcoming Retreat Dates May 7 - 10 May 14 - 17 Pricing Shared Room: $1,750 per person Private Room: $2,250 per person Book Now https://www.birdingwithrick.com/upcoming-retreats/pec monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/4b24d478-88f5-4e32-87e6-8839435ed13f/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+2.19.22%E2%80%AFPM.png Upcoming Retreats - Prince Edward County Wine & Owls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/ebd11df9-6ea7-4d6e-bf66-33b98f44fe9c/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+2.21.41%E2%80%AFPM.png Upcoming Retreats - Prince Edward County Wine & Owls - Make it stand out Prince Edward County Wine & Owls October 15–18 | 4 Days / 3 Nights Where migration meets indulgence.
