Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island is launching a new birding app.

Officials say it is the next step in the development of the birding product in the region.

TWEPI has worked with birding partners to implement a regional birding strategy authored by former Discovery Channel host Tom Hince.

The app is coming out in time for the Festival of Hawks this weekend. The Holiday Beach Conservation Area in Amherstburg has been called one of the top spots in North America to see migrating hawks.
