We are also close to Casey Marsh and Hilliardton Marsh - Ducks Unlimited projects

Observe birds only inches away at our Bird Banding Facility. Study fieldmarks that are normally difficult to see in the field. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers really do have a yellow wash on thier bellies - something that is seldom seen when the bird is found boring holes in trees. You rarely get a chance to see their bellies, and if you do, it is typically in poor light and are unable to make out any color at all.

Get great looks at the magnificent Great Gray Owl. Observe them in their natural habitat. Winter birdwatching offers many challenges, but it also offers many rewards! The Timiskaming area has boreal species that many birders in southern Ontario only wish they could find, without driving many hours in fridgid weather.

Experience the piercing glare of birds of prey. Compare similar species and hone your identification skills. Watch skilled bird banders carefully banding birds and recording vital statistics that help us to understand birds and their role in nature. Appreciate the formidable talons and bills of hawks and other birds of prey.

Bird feeders in the area yield many regular northern species, and some surprises!

There is lots of bird activity here in June and July, when birding is relatively quiet elsewhere. Many species nest in this area.
