Point Pelee National Park, southernmost tip of the Canadian mainland in Ontario, provides a happy hunting ground for the ornithologist, the entomologist, the botanist and the photographer. This eleven-kilometer strip of forest-covered land projecting into Lake Erie serves as an important way-station for migrating birds. The film shows many different species of birds found in this protected area, as well as butterflies and other insects, wild flowers and shrubs.
