DEDICATED OBSERVER FOR POINT LEPREAU BIRD OBSERVATORY, NEW BRUNSWICK

The Point Lepreau Bird Observatory

The Point Lepreau Bird Observatory is a project of the Saint John Naturalists' Club, and was established to monitor the migration of seabirds in the Bay of Fundy, due to concerns over the threat of oil spills in the Bay. Point Lepreau functions as a major concentration area for thousands of migrating waterfowl and they have recently learned that there is a significant migration of three scoter species (primarily Black and Surf) in the spring.
