CAPE ST. MARY'S ECOLOGICAL RESERVE

This cape bathed by the Atlantic is the natural habitat of more than 70,000 seabirds. It is the bird sanctuary that protects the largest colony of birds on the continent. The visitor's center provides information on their way of life. From here, a trail leads to Bird Rock, home to the largest gannet colony in Newfoundland. The nearby cliffs attract black-legged kittiwakes and murres. In July, humpback whales can also be seen.
