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!

Nice post. That's a handy page of locations if I should ever end up in northern Ontario. Really nice redstart photo by the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteGreat resource Roxane. I checked out a couple of trails in Timmins earlier in the week and they were fantastic. Trail creation and maintenance is so much farther ahead than Cochrane. Slightly jealous!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You are right Josh, the trails here are fantastic. We are very lucky. Timmins does realize the importance of trails, an so does Moonbeam.
