Pelee Island Bird Observatory

Pelee Island Bird Observatory (PIBO) is an internationally recognized NGO devoted to the study and observation of migratory birds and the preservation of their natural habitats on Pelee Island. PIBO was founded in 2004 after a migration-monitoring pilot study at Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve documented 192 species. Since 2004, PIBO has vastly increased knowledge of migrating and resident Pelee Island birds. Each year from April to November, our staff conducts intensive migration-monitoring research and breeding-bird studies on Pelee Island, as well as a daily dawn-walk bird count.
