Owls Head Provincial Park is an important habitat for native bird species and a refuge for migratory birds.
The coastal headland supports a variety of habitats, including a beach, estuaries, bogs, and salt marshes. CPAWS NS and a team of bird experts recorded over 70 species of birds last summer alone. Owls Head Provincial Park is also mapped in the government’s significant habitat database for nesting piping plovers.
