Algonquin Park Bird Observation

Algonquin Park has hundreds of species if birds inside the Park border. Exceptional diversity for bird watching is due to several factors. Undisturbed wilderness, abundance of lakes and the meeting of the southern decidious forests to the northern evergreen forests.

Many birds are year round residents - like the Jay, Chickadee and Grouse. Others are migrants - like the Bunting, Blue Heron, Brown Thrasher and Wood Thrush.

May is a great time to watch the migrating birds. While many birds make Algonquin Park their destination, there are many more that stop off at the Park on their way further north. Bird watchers who stay at Algonquin Inn resort during May will receive a complimentary, Birds of Ontario field guide book. There is nothing like bird watching and hiking followed by a warm fireplace and a wonderful dinner at Algonquin Inn resort.
