Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

A Touch of Scotland, in Canada!

Cape Breton Island is a part of Nova Scotia highly influenced by its Scottish ancestry. Its lush habitats, rugged coastline, and unique architecture may make us forget that we are in Canada. But the birds will certainly remind us. The Bird Islands are home to thousands of nesting seabirds, including Atlantic Puffin, Black Guillemot, Common Murre, Great Cormorant, and Leach's Storm-Petrel (rarely visible). In Cape Breton Highlands National Park our attention will turn to boreal species - - Spruce Grouse, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Pine Grosbeak, and a host of nesting warblers including Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, and Blackpoll. Other likely species include American Bittern, Common Eider (with ducklings), Northern Goshawk, Arctic Tern, and White-winged Crossbill. Bob Schutsky is the scheduled tour leader. This tour can be combined with the Coastal Maine Tour that immediately precedes it. Please ask about a discount if you take this option.
