We have many bird feeders between cabins #3 & #4 . You will see many songbirds there all year long. The two birds of prey that you will see constantly flying overhead are the eagle & osprey. The osprey sometimes nests close to the ocean where it fishes for flounder and other small marine fish. Although the osprey is an endangered species, Newfoundland and Labrador is home to a strong population of these birds. It is possible to watch osprey all over our province, including ponds in the heart of St. John’s. The bald eagle is a year-round resident of Newfoundland and Labrador Although it is an occasional predator of gulls, murres, and other prey, most of its food comes from the ocean. Puffins can be view off Bonavista & Elliston.
