SHOREBIRDS
Niagara’s shorelines and wetlands provide crucial habitats for migrating shorebirds like sandpipers and plovers. These birds rely on mudflats and beaches for feeding during their long migrations. Local conservation groups have worked to protect these sensitive areas by mitigating human disturbance and restoring degraded wetland environments.
