Saw Whet Weekends at Wood B & B



Not a week goes by without some interesting bird activity in the Long Point/Port Rowan area.

The period from mid-October until early November is notable as Northern Saw Whet Owls are moving from boreal forests into and through our area.

This small nocturnal owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, while common, is not often seen.  However, on some evenings, staff at the nearby Long Point Bird Observatory’s (LPBO) Old Cut banding station capture and band dozens of these owls.
For the second year we are offering a special package at Wood B & B so visitors can have a chance to see these owls up close.


Our package at $300 (CDN) per room* for two includes:
  • Two nights stay
  • Check in Friday (October 20, October 27 or November 3) from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
  • Breakfast Saturday and Sunday
  • Lunch Saturday and a bagged lunch to go on Sunday
  • Dinner Saturday
  • Check out Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
  • Throughout the weekend you can birdwatch or enjoy the rural charm, diverse landscapes and small town atmosphere of Norfolk County.
*
*A portion of this package fee will be donated to the Long Point Bird Observatory Research Programs.

Call us at 519-586-9700 for information about family and single rates.
