The South Marysburgh Mirror P 7 ' Natural South Marysburgh (continued from page 4) ward Point and Point Traverse. Well over 100 species of birds may be seen here this month as the spring mi- gration kicks into high gear. Among them will be over 30 species of warblers passing through, most of them enroute to more northern nesting grounds. Nowhere on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario do the concentra- tions of migrant birds compare with those at this point of land. In terms of abundance, it actually rivals Point Pelee. There are several trails we can follow, one of them taking us to the historic lighthouse. In the dis- tance are the False Ducks—Swetman Island and Tim- ber Island. And on a good day, you might be able to spot the lighthouse on Main Duck Island, some 19 kilo- metres out into Lake Ontario. But, that’s another story.
