Tips from locals
The Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory (or PEPtBO) is committed to increasing the appreciation, knowledge, and understanding of birds by collecting data through spring and fall banding programs, a daily census, observation surveys and research projects. We strive to provide the community with opportunities to support and engage in the conservation of bird populations and habitats. We’re a volunteer-run charity, with an active bird migration monitoring station since 1995. We’re members of the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network and caretakers for the globally significant Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird Area.

One of the top 3 bird migratory points in North America - in Spring and Fall, volunteers tag birds to study migratory and health issues. Stunning drive there and see Point Traverse Lighthouse nearby.
The banding site is located on a major migratory route and is a focal point for passerines, waterfowl and raptors with yearly reports of rare and unusual species. The Observatory is open to the public.
