Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area, Bird observatory and national wildlife area in Prince Edward County, Canada
Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area spans 546 hectares of forests, grasslands, wetlands, and shorelines along the northeast coast of Lake Ontario.
The national wildlife area, established in 1978, emerged from research conducted by Kingston Field Naturalists studying bird migrations during the 1970s and 1980s.
The Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory conducts educational programs and research activities, allowing visitors to participate in bird banding and migration monitoring.
Located 20 kilometers southeast of Picton, the area provides trails, washrooms, boat launches, and parking facilities for day visitors throughout the year.
The observatory records over 300 bird species, including 74 nesting varieties, with single-day counts reaching 70,000 dark-eyed juncos during peak migration periods.
