Ontario's Carolinian Forrest
Dominated by deciduous trees, The Carolinian Forest covers the southern most part of Ontario along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Trees that are a Southern Species are found nowhere else in Canada. Only here can you walk through a forest where southern species such as Tulip Tree, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Black Oak, Black Gum, Shagbark Hickory, and Sassafras are mixed with more familiar species like Sugar Maple and American Beech. Rare Reptiles and Amphibians also are found in the same area such as: Spotted Turtles, Eastern Spiny Softshell Turtles, Jefferson Salamanders, Lake Erie Water Snake, Fowler's Toad. Monarch Butterflies pass through here by the thousands and settle on the tips of Point Pelee and Long Point before their long fall migration to Mexico. Birdwatchers love the area especially Long Point/Port Rowan (A World Biosphere Area), and Port Burwell. Rare varieties land on their way north or south, including Whistling Swans and Hawks in the Fall. Usually, about the beginning of March, the Whistling Swans start to arrive and land here on the bay as they come south. I love to hear them flying over. There is a Bird Banding Station where counts and measurements are taken at Long Point. This is all happening in the Forest Capital of Canada 2008 that I mentioned in an earlier Intel. It is truly an interesting place to live.
