 Bird Watching & Tourism Adventures
The sound of nature is calling, and it could be the sweet music from of any one of our many woodland or sea birds.
Ten Beaches Nova Scotia is an excellent area for bird watching, with a wonderful diversity of flying feathered creatures, both on the coast and in our forests. Along the coastline you will find a host of sea birds, including loons, grebes, cormorants and colourful red-breasted mergansers. Baywaters Beach is a place where you can view sea birds along the shoreline and see inland birds too, such as, warblers, blue jays, woodpeckers and chickadees. These are in treed areas around a nearby lake, and in other wooded placed in the Ten Beaches area. Fox Point is a great place to watch for the amazing bald eagles. And, the point at Cleveland Beach has a treed area where birds gather, and from where you can also watch for sea birds. Last year, a colony of cormorants nested on Horse Island, off Northwest Cove, and bird watchers are anxious for their return this spring.
Other species, which are now starting to appear at Ten Beaches, include cardinals and marlins. A five-year study is now underway to catalogue the various species of birds in our area as part of a larger project for the Maritime Breeding Bird Atlas.
