Northern Ontario is a great place to discover birds. We have such a vast, wild, non-developed territory to explore. These never-ending natural areas mean that the birds are spread out and therefore, not easy to find. But that's ok because we love the challenge, right? And when we do find a worthwhile bird, it makes it even more special. Cochrane district is a great place to look for birds and not a lot of people are doing it! Actually, the territory is so vast and the number of birders so low, I've only ever ran into birders twice while in the field; that's twice in the last 5 years! Personally, I think that's great in a way. But just in case someone is looking for birding spots in the area, I have decided to add a page to this blog. You will now find a tab that will give you access to a list of my favorite birding spots around the South Porcupine and Timmins area. I will add spots around the Moonbeam area later on. Good birding!
