Huron Fringe Birding Festival

This is a great time of the year to get outdoors and take in some awesome bird watching. Each year MacGregor Point Provincial Park just S of Port Elgin hosts the Huron Fringe Birding Festival with the arrival of Spring, that means the arrival of a variety of birds to the Bruce, and you can tour the park with guides or on your own and take in the splendor of wildlife.

The festival takes place May 25th to 28th and May 31st to June 3rd, 2007. This is the 10th Anniversary for the festival. Bring your cameras, binoculars and enjoy the park!

Panoramic View

Happy Mothers Day!

The weather is just right to spend the day outside with mom, go to the park, go for a hike, take her to lunch, or if you really want to show her the sites why not take her to the Bruce Peninsula National Park for a tour of the Parks Canada Visitor Centre, then you can take in the breathtaking views at the top of the Lookout Tower!

You will get a panoramic view of both parks, islands, lighthouses, and like I mentioned in an earlier post on a really clear day you can see across to Manitoulin Island...

What better way to celebrate Mothers Day then a day exploring the Bruce!
