The road to Cape S...Hi, Thank you for your comment. The road to Cape Spear is often more productive than Cape Spear, itself. The trail beyond is also quite active during the right season. It is easy to spend a whole day in this area and still not cover it all. Many rare warblers have been seen along Blackhead Road, in the Village of Blackhead and along the hiking trail. Raptors are also frequently seen around the Cape including Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Goshawk and other more rare species have been reported. A European Whimbrel, Common Redpolls, Snow Buntings, Lapland Longspur, White-crowned Sparrow, Nelson's Sparrow, Yellow-breasted Chat, Black-throated Blue Warbler and so much more. Along the coastline, it is possible to see many species of seabirds including gulls, gannets, murre, scoters, phalaropes, Dovekie's and more. Most every season at or around Cape Spear yields a wide variety of birds. Having said all of that, let me also say, I have been there many times when I have seen no birds at all. Hope you get an opportunity to visit the area.Lisa de Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040676635250107265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614636539668251860.post-71979554576415957102016-02-08T19:56:39.134-03:302016-02-08T19:56:39.134-03:30Hi!
