Newfoundland is considered a prime destination for bird watching, attracting numerous bird enthusiasts and experts. Surprisingly, over 350 bird species call Newfoundland their home. In fact, it is rightfully known as the seabird capital of North America! Wherever you go, you're likely to encounter over 35,000,000 seabirds, including 25,000 Atlantic puffins, 500,000 Atlantic puffins, and 700,000 terns. You can get up close and personal with these birds, so leave your binoculars at home.

The most famous location is Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, located at the southern tip of the Avalon Peninsula. On a massive rock formation called Bird Rock, home to 70,000 Atlantic puffins, the entire island and surrounding cliffs turn white as they incubate their next generation.

Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, located just a few dozen kilometers from St. John's, is also one of the top seabird breeding areas in Eastern North America. Every summer, over a million pairs of seabirds gather here to breed, including Atlantic puffins, murres, and black-legged kittiwakes. You can also observe marine mammals such as humpback whales and minke whales.
