Birding

World-class sightings

The region’s diverse habitats, including wetlands, marshes, shorelines, and wooded areas, attract a wide variety of bird species, especially during spring and fall migration periods.

Leamington sits at the tip of the Pelee Peninsula, which juts out into Lake Erie and acts as a natural “funnel” for migratory birds crossing the lake.

There are regular bird walks, festivals and other organized events that attract birders from all over the world.
