The Midland-Penetang Field Naturalists have a bird sightings board located at the visitors centre of the Wye Marsh. People visiting the centre may record the birds that they have seen in a day. It is voluntary and the information collected each month is used to calculate a relative of bird species in the area. It's also fun to record what you have seen to alert other birders!
Here are the sightings for the Month of April 2006: Canada Goose Trumpeter Swan Wood Duck Mallard Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Ruffed grouse Double-Crested Cormorant American Bittern Great Blue Heron Turkey Vulture Osprey Northern Harrier Sharp-shinned Hawk Red-tailed Hawk Sandhill Crane American Woodcock Ring-billed Gull Caspian tern Mourning Dove Belted Kingfisher Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Eastern Peewee Easter Phoebe Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Barn Swallow Black-capped Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch White-breasted Nuthatch Brown Creeper American Robin Yellow-rumped Warbler Common Yellowthroat American Tree Sparrow Chipping Sparrow Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal Rose-breasted Grosbeak Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Purple Finch Pine Siskin American Goldfinch Evening Grosbeak Bald Eagle Blackburnian Warbler Ruby-crowned Kinglet Happy Birding!!
