The 350 Bird Challenge
In 2025, we’re trying to find 350 different bird species across Canada and beyond – tracking down lifers, nemesis birds, and rare seasonal visitors.
Join us on this journey through migration, wilderness, and the joy of bird discovery. Check out the videos above to watch along and see a list of birds we’ve seen so far.
Ontario Nature Calendar
Our brand-new Nature Calendar highlights what’s happening in Ontario’s wild spaces – from bird migrations to wildflower blooms. It’s the perfect way to plan your outings and stay in tune with nature’s rhythm.
