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.
