I first fell in love with birds while watching colorful warblers and musical sparrows migrating through Point Pelee National Park on the southernmost tip of Canada.

Thousands of people flock to this park to watch them finish crossing up to 200 kilometers of Lake Erie, a long distance for an animal weighing just 15 to 20 grams, or . . .
