Holiday Beach and Hillman's Marsh

Today we visited two other local birding spots in the Point Pelee area. 

 First we went to Holiday Beach  but not to see the beach.  It has trails and boardwalks around an extensive e marsh.

Here we saw prothonatary warblers and a red-headed woodpecker.

They also have a purple martin nesting colony here.

The next spot was Hillman's marsh.

Where we saw 

egrets,

Canada Geese,

And hundreds of dunlin

And black-bellied plover.

We decided to drive into Leamington to look for local specialties to bring back as gifts.

But Leamington wasn't set up for tourism at all.  It turned out the businesses all catered to the agricultural workers, so money wiring companies, numerous taco shops, a Venezuelan nightclub.
