Atlas note: What do species as diverse as Great Horned Owls, Feral Pigeons, Eastern Screech Owls, Common Ravens, Northern Saw-whet Owls, Barred Owls, Mourning Doves, Ruffed Grouse, and Trumpeter Swans all have in common? All could now be breeding here in Eastern Ontario and the Third Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas needs your observations of these species, even if you only see or hear them. Your observations will provide essential information for Canadian researchers, scientists, government officials and conservation professionals that will help guide environmental policies and conservation strategies across Ontario for years to come. Participation is straight-forward and as easy as simply noting the presence of a bird.
