Trails and Birds
Lambton Shores Nature Trails maintains some of the environmentally most significant natural areas in Southwestern Ontario. Located in Carolinian Canada, it is home to many birds including the migrating tundra swans who pass through in the early spring on their trek to the far north.
Two properties, L-Lake Conservation Area and the Ausable River Cut Conservation Area have been designated as Important Birding Areas (IBA) by IBA Canada. Considering the natural habitat the trails go through and the proximately to lots of water, their is an abundance of birds along the trails.
