Summary

WELCOME TO THE PELEE ISLAND BIRD OBSERVATORY (PIBO), a unique institution nestled in the western arc of Lake Erie that sits directly between the mainlands of Ohio and Ontario. Located on the most southerly island in Canada, this sanctuary offers a rare view of birds migrating across two major flyways connecting Central and South America. The facility also houses the "BIRDS of a FEATHER" magazine, an e-journal produced at PIBO that features new bird species, news reviews, and perspectives shared on the island and throughout the entire hemisphere. This program invites bird enthusiasts and nature lovers to receive exclusive content from PIBO, keeping the global conversation about migratory birds alive from the coast of Canada to the skies of Central and South America. The observatory's location in the path of these vital flyways ensures that observers can see birds in their most vulnerable stages before they reach their wintering grounds, creating a unique and intimate environment for conservation.
