We try to keep our bird feeders fully stocked for the many native North American birds that come to our feeders all year long.

Some of our more common visitors include, Chickadees, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Nuthatches - even Hummingbirds visit out garden in the summer.

This little Nuthatch is the acrobat of the feeder and it is enchanting to watch their antics as they feed! You can read more about some of our native birds in Ontario by checking our Area Birds Pages

During the month of March the Aylmer Ontario area is visited by tens of thousands of Tundra swans, as they migrate from their summer feeding grounds on Chesapeake bay and fly north to the Arctic to breed.

On their journey they stop at Long Point and at the Wildlife Management Area in Aylmer to rest and feed before continuing their annual migration.

In late summer, the north shore of Lake Erie sees a unique migration of Monarch Butterflies. These beautiful butterflies spend the summer in this area and then spend the winter in Central America.

Thousands of Birds of Prey, who also fly south for the winter, pass through this area on their winter migration.

Visit nearby Hawk Cliff and watch for our native Raptors.

Some birds such as the Turkey Vulture, Red Tailed Hawk, Red-shouldered Hawk and Golden Eagle are summer residents in this area and during the fall migration thousands of these raptors are sighted daily.

Hawks Cliff is located just south of the lake road between Port Stanley and Port Bruce - watch for the signs at the end of Fairview Rd south of St Thomas.
