Descrição
Hawk Cliff, located near Port Stanley, Ontario, is one of the premier birding destinations in the province, especially renowned for its fall raptor migration. Situated along the northern shore of Lake Erie, this site offers stunning views of the lake, rolling farmland, and patches of Carolinian forest. The habitat is a mix of open fields, wooded areas, and coastal bluffs, providing diverse environments that attract a wide range of bird species.
The highlight of Hawk Cliff is the raptor migration, with thousands of Broad-winged Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Bald Eagle, Osprey and Peregrine Falcon passing through. The site is particularly famous for high concentrations of Red-tailed Hawk and Turkey Vulture later in the season.
Detalhes
Acesso
Hawk Cliff is located just east of Port Stanley, along the northern shore of Lake Erie. It sits at the end of Hawk Cliff Road, a gravel road off Dexter Line (Elgin County Road 24). The area is about 30 minutes south of London, Ontario, and roughly 2 hours from Toronto by car.
There is limited roadside parking at the end of Hawk Cliff Road. During peak birding times in fall, the road can get busy, so arriving early is recommended. No designated parking lot is available, but visitors park along the side of the road without blocking traffic.
The best way to experience Hawk Cliff is by walking along the gravel road and adjacent trails to watch for migrating raptors and songbirds.

It's a fantastic place to visit, especially in the fall, when thousands of raptors pass through on their way south!
