Spring Migration in Prince Edward County

May 12-15, 2025

4 days | Canada | Birding

“The County” has become well-known for its wines, but it is perhaps less well-known as a fantastic birding destination. Parts of Prince Edward County are said to be the best locations for migration along the north shore of Lake Ontario! On this getaway, get acquainted with the rich patchwork of habitats and their attendant migratory and resident birds. Walk through juniper-filled woodlands watching for colourful warblers and tanagers recently returned from the tropics. Scan fenceposts along pastures for grassland birds like Bobolinks and meadowlarks setting up their breeding territories. Scour limestone shorelines for what lies beyond. Of particular interest are the lands and waters along the County’s south shores, which comprise an internationally significant Important Bird Area, including Prince Edward Point. In the evenings, we have re-caps of the day’s events between servings of great local food and even better local wine at downtown restaurants.

Note:
Participants will travel in their own vehicle to PEC and will use their own vehicle for local touring. We will travel by convoy to reach sites and be together outdoors while exploring.
