Across our region we’re encountering birds carrying food or young
birds being fed by parents. These observations are welcome in the
Third Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, a five-year effort to provide data
that will guide environmental policies and conservation strategies
across Ontario for years to come. For more information on how you can
easily contribute to this pan-Ontario community based science effort,

Regional Coordinator at Ottawa@birdsontario.org
