Atlas note: Have you noticed that many of our resident birds are constantly carrying food these days? They are gathering food for their young and it is behaviour that confirms breeding. Whether singing or carrying food, your observations of our resident birds are most welcome in the Third Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas: a once in a generation opportunity to provide important data that will help inform conservation policies for years to come. #youcanatlasthat anywhere in Ontario via the NatureCounts app, the Atlas website, or by importing an eBird checklist.
