In the spring, the surrounding forests, meadows, and wetlands around Ottawa and Ottawa Greenbelt are filled with the rustling of wings, singing, and parenting concerns of
By the middle of September, the migration of long-distant migrants is almost over, but in this time many bird species that fly far to the north still continue their way from breeding grounds in tundras and northern taiga to southern regions. At this time we still have the opportunity to spot many interesting migratory bird species in the Ottawa area.
This spring, the first migratory snow geese just appeared near Ottawa. We expect that the mass migration will start in early April. We plan to go to some such places in the Cobbs Lake Creek area, known as a stopover for snow geese during spring migration. We hope to see not only snow geese but other interesting bird species, including other geese species, birds of prey, ducks, gulls, and passerines. If we'll be lucky, we'll be able to see even sandhill cranes.
