We have 3 stops on this trip:
- Start the tour with a visit to the Long Point Birding Observatory (LPBO) on the shores of Lake Erie. Long Point is a birders’ paradise. The Long Point Birding Area in Norfolk County is one of Canada’s premier birding locales with a wide variety of habitats. For over 60 years, biologists and visitors at LPBO have studied the birds of the Long Point area. We are going to be provided with a guided tour of their on-site migration monitoring program including a demonstration of bird banding.
- Our second stop will be for lunch at a restaurant located right on the shores of Lake Erie in a community called Turkey Point. How appropriate for a birding tour! :-) Lunch is included as part of this tour.
- After lunch, our final stop will be the Canadian Raptor Conservancy where you will learn about birds of prey and see live, free-flight demonstrations by some of their birds. Although we do not know which birds they will be using they could include Bald Eagles, Harris Hawks, Great Horned Owls, Red-tailed Hawks and Peregrine Falcons. Many of the birds are also the stars of Hollywood productions and have appeared numerous times on television.
