Featured partner: Eagle-Eye Tours
Eagle-Eye’s Newfoundland birding tour offers a remarkable diversity of spectacular scenery unlike anywhere else in North America. Fabulous seabird colonies dot the Avalon Peninsula (thousands of northern gannets, Atlantic puffins, black-legged kittiwakes and murres), with lesser numbers of razorbills and black guillemots. Caribou and moose are often photographable along the roadsides. Landbirds include such interesting species as gray-cheeked thrush, boreal chickadee, blackpoll warbler, crossbills and rock and willow ptarmigan. Guests will spend three days in Gros Morne National Park, a stunningly beautiful area of mountains, fjords, sand dunes and wetlands.
