Bird Watching - Niagara Cultural Tourism

The National Audobon Society has declared the Niagara River Corridor to be one of the world's most valuable birding areas. Generally birds in migration seek to avoid flying over large bodies of water as the effort, without resting points, is too strenuous. Untold thousands of birds die crossing the Great Lakes each year. The narrow Niagara Corridor provides an easier flyway for migrating birds to reach their destinations. Consequently this funnel-like area and especially its immediate banks, has become a pivotal point for environmentalists wishing to preserve a contiguous migratory path for hundreds of bird species.
