Churchill Wilderness Encounter Five-day Itinerary for Birding in Churchill

FIVE-DAY
CHURCHILL BIRDING TOUR

DAY 1

After arrival and check-in at your hotel, we will head out to find some life birds for your list. The productive harbours board ponds will be our first stop. These ponds are a good feeding and resting spot for various ducks and shorebirds. The Churchill River shoreline will be our next stop. Here we will scan the river for Common Eiders, Pacific and Red Throated Loons, Scoters and other waterfowl. This is also a good place for shorebirds.

From here, we will proceed to Cape Merry where a spectacular arctic vista awaits us. As the ice moves in and out of the river mouth, many gulls and Arctic Terns feed there. It is also possible to see three species of jaegers and perhaps even a Harlequin Duck. The combined calls of all these birds can be most impressive.
