Birding ToursMost of the small islands in the Belcher Island archipelago provide breeding grounds for several species of ducks and geese. Rock crevices, lakes and ponds are summer home to many other migrating birds. Most of the species that nest in the Belcher Islands or visit here are waterbirds including:
A population of almost 3000 pairs of Hudson Bay Common Eiders nest on the North Belcher Islands. The South Flaherty Islands observations count more than 15,000 birds wintering in the ice floe edges and polynyas. |
