Ontario Field Trip Ideas to Learn About Birds

Your own backyard, neighbourhood, local parks and nature trails are a place to start your bird search.

Start keeping a list of all the birds you've spotted.

But wait you say. You don't know the names of that many birds, and you're not sure what that little brown bird is.

No problem, the Royal Ontario Museum really helps us new birders out. You can generate a field guide for your region of Ontario, and see what birds you're most likely to see (helps narrow it down). Just choose your region, and create an online guide to study. It gives great pictures, some identifying information, and - what I love best - a sample of what the specific bird's song sounds like. Click here to generate your field guide.

After you've practiced your bird listening skills, why not try the Royal Ontario Museum song bird test.

Aviary

Here's another idea, why not go to an aviary like the Niagara Falls Aviary - Birds of the Lost Kingdom Explore the tropical splendor of the rainforest as you interact with over 300 free flying birds from around the world. They have an educational program as well.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
