The towns of Shelburne & Clyde River have become well known as great places for birdwatching.
Rivers, many lakes, fields and forests provide perfect habitat for a variety of birds for which Shelburne County has become famous.
Matthew's Lake of Shelburne County ranks among the top birding locations in the Maritimes. A virtual birdwatching hot spot from August through November, where large flocks of migrating birds, ducks, marsh hawks and swallows hunt in the fields and forests. Shore birds like the Hudsonian Godwit hunt for food along the beaches and salt water marshes. Watch the Terns diving for fish off the plentiful beaches.
