I was impressed on how much Chris cared about making sure everyone was learning, engaged, and getting the most out of the trip. I look forward to my next workshop with Chris!

We were the very first to make our way to “The Tip” during spring migration in May 2019 and we disturbed this Raccoon while eating what looked like a Blackburnian Warbler as we rounded the corner in the shuttle. It had finished its snack by the time we got back to it with our cameras, but we felt compelled to photograph it anyway.
The Tip of the peninsula of Point Pelee is the Southernmost point of Canada. Every spring people from around the world visit the point for the opportunity to observe the sudden influx of migratory songbirds. The tip is just south of the 42nd parallel, which is as far south as Barcelona and Rome.
Raccoons are clever and resourceful animals. ... Raccoons eat berries, other fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables. They also eat insects, eggs, poultry, rats, squirrels, small livestock, birds, fish, snakes, crawfish, worms, frogs, and mollusks. Additionally, raccoons will eat pet food, carrion, and human garbage.

My Niece and I went to Point Pelee with Chris Dodds Photo and it was a terrific experience. He is very knowledgeable with birds, their species, their calls and is quite witty. If you listen when he tells you to bring certain things on your trip and when he talks about camera usage etc you will gain so much from your time with him! He knows his clientele very well and try’s to cater to them. He has a good analogy on some things and makes you focus on the details. It was an enjoyable week!
