Writer and avid California birder Peter B. Logan describes his quest to spot 20 warblers at Point Pelee National Park, on Lake Erie in southern Ontario, Canada, on a day in May, at the peak of the spring migration. After finding 19 species at the Dunes, Pioneer, and other picnic areas, Logan returns to Sanctuary, the northernmost picnic area, and finally finds No. 20: hard-to-find Connecticut Warbler.
