On their journey they stop at the wildlife management area in aylmer to rest and feed before continuing their annual migration. in late summer the north shore of lake erie sees a unique migration of monarch butterflies, who spend the winter in central america and gather in this area in the fall as they prepare for their epic journey south to winter in mexico. thousands of raptors, who also fly south for the winter, pass through this area on their autumn migration. Visit nearby hawk's cliff and watch for our native birds of prey. Some birds such as the turkey vulture, red tailed hawk and sharp-shinned hawk are summer residents in this area. Bring your binoculars and see if you can spot a pair of our golden eagles who are again nesting in the area.

Area Description :
Aylmer is set in beautiful southern ontario farmland and is a small town of 5,000 people. Aylmer, ontario is the home of the ontario police college. In autumn, this area sees the migration of tens of thousands of raptors as they had south for the winter after spending the summer in their ontario breeding grounds. Frequently sighted are the red tailed hawk, sharp shinned hawk, turkey vulture and occasionally bald eagles which are making a come-back in this area. Aylmer has a weekly farmer's market on tuesday and the pace of life here is slow - you will probably meet one of our amish or mennonite families on their way to market driving their horse & buggy as they live the way they have lived for generations.
