Address: 1 Marshall 40 Foot Rd #3, Stella, ON K0H 2S0 One hotspot in particular for birding enthusiasts is Amherst Island. It’s a wonderful place to view and learn about a variety of owls. The most common species found here during the winter are the Northern Saw-whet Owl, Long-eared Owls, with smaller numbers of Barred Owls, Great Horned Owls, and a few Boreal Owls and Great Grey Owls. Snowy Owls, as well as the Northern Hawk Owls, are usually found in trees and on fence posts or hydro poles near open fields throughout the Island. While bird watching, please respect the wildlife and vegetation on your visit. Remember not to get too close and move and speak quietly. Avoid the use of a flash if you are taking photographs. In the winter, Amherst Island is one of the best known spots in Ontario for winter birding because the island regularly supports large populations of hawks, harriers, owls, shrikes and waterfowl. In spring and autumn Amherst Island can be a great place to see migrating waterfowl, shorebirds and passerines. During the summer months the island is home to a few notable breeding species like Wilson’s Phalarope. Virtually all of the land on Amherst Island is privately owned, so most bird watching is done from the roadside. There are a few properties however, to which land owners kindly allow public access. Please remember to respect the wildlife and vegetation, keep quiet and avoid using flash photography.
