Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory
Cabot Head Rd, Miller Lake
The Cabot Head area was declared an international “Important Bird Area” (IBA) in 2002. The designation was a recognition of the globally significant portion of the Red-necked Grebe population that use the area spring and fall as a staging/resting area during their migration. Only a few locations on the Great Lakes serve this function, as the grebes move back and forth between their Atlantic coast wintering grounds and their breeding ground in the north central and north western parts of the continent.
