Port Stanley is a window to Lake Erie. Bird watchers come to the Port throughout the year to check for loons, grebes, cormorants, ducks,geese, gulls, terns, and shorebirds. Even in winter the harbour can attract large numbers of gulls including the massive Great Black-Backed Gull, and also some rarities such as the Glaucous and Iceland Gull. You could say that March is waterfowl month. April is Common Loon and Double-Crested Cormorant month and May is shorebird month. One of Port Stanley's greatest attractions for the natural history crowd is the annual pilgrimage to see the Whimbrel flight which takes place between May 20 and May 30 each year. Birders positioned along the waterfront eagerly await flocks of dozens or hundreds and occasionally thousands of Whimbrel; a chicken-sized Arctic bound shorebird. In the fall, the passage of migrants is in reverse order with terns in Late July and gulls in late November.
