Birdwatching in the Wintertime

Winter in Central Canada is a magical time for backyard birdwatching. While many species migrate south, a hardy group sticks around, delighting us with their songs, antics, and visits to our feeders. This printable checklist helps you track which birds you see, note the date of your first sightings, and even record your spring observations in the “Bird Mom Notes” section. Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or just enjoying your feathered freeloaders, this guide makes winter birdwatching fun, cozy and organized.
