Going back to Pelee is on my list of things to do. Now just to find the time....

Thanks Gordon, I think that's it. Pelee is a magical place. Sounds like a great experience you had there. You must go back!

I think these may be young or female tree swallows. See http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/tree_swallow/id for more information. I'd guess the young would be flying in early August. Point Pelee is a wonderful place. I remember vividly our only visit there. A sharp-shinned hawk came barrelling through the woods as they do and shot right between Deb and myself. Very cool...grin.
