Birding Group
The
RHN includes an active birding group that meets once a month from October
through April to study and discuss ornithology. In addition members are
invited to participate in local -- and not so local -- outings across
southern Ontario. Yearly events include beginner's workshops at Mill Pond as
well as trips further a field to Whitby's Thickson Woods, Presqu'ile,
Burlington's Royal Botanical Gardens, the Grimsby Hawk Watch and other
stops along Lake Ontario. For reports on recent meetings, see the
BLOG. In lieu of a December meeting, a number of the members conduct the annual
Christmas Bird Count for our area. Our results are sent to the National
Audubon Society for publication in their magazine American Birds.

Bird Sightings
For many years, the RHN bird sightings database was ably maintained by
Theo Hofmann. As a result of work done by Bob Noble of the West Humber
Naturalists, we are now working toward a shared reporting system and
database. You can browse and search the bird sightings database or
report new sightings using the links below. Note that new sightings can also
be reported to Gene Denzel at 905-770-4586.
