WATERFOWL

in Ontario

Some of these birds stay here year-round, and others are migratory and spend their winters in warmer climes, returning to this area in Spring to breed.

Those which migrate to warmer climes for the winter, may only be seen in this area during their spring or fall migrations to their breeding grounds in the far north, and other species stay here year-round.

The water birds of this area include the Canada Goose, the graceful Tundra Swans and the beautiful, but elusive, Wood Duck, the Common Goldeneye, the Common Loon and others, which are listed below.
