Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annotated List of the Birds of Point Pelee
The following report is mostly compiled from the notes of the members of the Great Lakes Ornithological Club, 'a small organization formed for the purpose of co-operation and ih tensive study of the birds of the Great Lakes Region. At one of the earliest meetings of the club attention was called by W'. E. Saunders to the peculiarly interesting phases of Point Pelee avifauna, and the interest of the membership was so aroused that a trip was made there May 13 and 14, '1905, by W. E. Saunders, B. H. Swales and P. A. Taverner. The results were so encouraging that further and more extended trips have been made as business conditions permitted. The following are the fruits of the work to date. Credit must be given to the following members, who have aided the writers to the utmost in their endeavors to present all the data so far accumulated in regard to the birds of this interesting locality.
Dr. William Brodie, who made a collecting trip to the Point in July, 1879, and added some valuable notes in regard to conditions at that early date.
