Did you know that even though fall is upon us, there are local birds
that could be breeding at this time of year including both Red and
White-winged Crossbills, Eastern Screech Owls, and Great Horned Owls.
The Third Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas welcomes your observations of
these species even if they are only heard or seen. The Atlas is a
five-year effort that will provide essential information for Canadian
researchers, scientists, government officials and conservation
professionals that will guide environmental policies and conservation
strategies across Ontario for years to come. For more information,
