10 ducks can be seen swimming in a wetland through some branches. One duck is rearing up flapping its wings.

What is the program all about?

1

Threat reduction

Reduce threats to birds through educational and regulatory measures to create more opportunities for birds to survive and thrive.

2

Habitat Protection, Restoration, and Climate Resiliency

Factor in the well-being of birds and communities when planning urban development projects to ensure that habitat conservation and restoration are prioritized.

3

Community Outreach and Education

Officially recognizing and celebrating days like World Migratory Bird Day will allow communities to celebrate birds and the diverse places they call home.

Join Bird Friendly Selwyn on a birding trip Sunday November 3rd 9am-12pm

Pigeon Lake is a northeast-to-southwest corridor for migrating waterfowl and waterbirds on their annual fall migration to more southerly destinations. On this outing, you will be visiting various vantage points along the eastern shore of Pigeon Lake, looking for concentrations of waterfowl. The open fields inland from the lake will be checked for late fall migrants such as Rougth-legged Hawk, American Pipit and Northern Shrike. This trip will be led by Martin and Kathy Parker, lifetime naturalists and birders, who have led birding trips throughout Ontario and beyond for decades.

THE WHY

Will you commit to making Selwyn Township bird-friendly?

Canada’s birds need your help. There are three billion fewer birds in North America today than 50 years ago. Much of these losses are caused by human activities.

Birds play an essential role in maintaining healthy and resilient ecosystems in our communities and our planet.
