Atlas note: Though the majority of our local breeding birds are tending their young families in preparation for migration, breeding evidence – such as adults carrying food or encountering fledged young – can still be found across Eastern Ontario. Your bird observations are very much welcome in the 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 taking 90 seconds to import an eBird checklist.
