Birds of Newfoundland

Enjoy the Natural History Society’s on-line checklist of the birds of Newfoundland. Folks on our tours get proper checklists. Wildland Tours has sponsored a scholarship for the Natural History Society since the mid 1990s.

Eastern Newfoundland is famous among bird watchers for vagrants and interesting birds showing up from the south or from Europe. This is why most local birders include a Field Guide to the Birds of Europe in their personal libraries. From south polar skuas to ivory gulls to magnificent frigate birds, there is almost always something rare or of special interest about. Check out the latest postings about our birds, written by the local birding community.
