Canada. Discover our true nature

Natural History, March, 2003

WITH ALMOST 700 BIRD species, Canada is a natural destination for avid birders. From Newfoundland and Labrador to Yukon, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, the abundance of authentic wilderness offers unparalleled bird watching.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, discover a land of rugged, intense beauty that is home to no less than forty million seabirds. Don't miss the chubby, colorful puffins of the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve or the seven million storm petrels found on Baccalieu Island. Farther east, Nova Scotia alone has 429 bird species. In the mud flats of the Bay of Fundy, you'll see large roosts of shorebirds--plovers, yellowlegs, godwits, curlews, and phalaropes--at high tide.

Out west, visit British Columbia, and hike through the Brackenrale Eagle Reserve--home to one of the highest concentrations of bald eagles in the world. There's no overstating the awe inspired by the sight of up to 3,700 eagles on the wing. Then, stop by Saskatchewan, one of the best places in the world to observe the elegant whooping cranes' 2,500-mile migration.

Be sure to treat yourself to one of our first-class hotels, spas or resorts, and indulge in Canada's unique and delightful cuisine.
