Wye Marsh is an Important Bird Area.

The marsh is a highly diverse habitat that houses numerous species of birds.

Wye Marsh is also involved with numerous conservation programs for birds, including nest boxes for some bird species. Wood Duck nest boxes can be seen from many of the trails and boardwalk within the marsh and are monitored annually in partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada.

Many of the species within the marsh are species at risk and the work of WM includes monitoring these species to ensure the health of these populations for conservation.

Birding at Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is a unique experience year round.  Throughout each of the different seasons you can be rest assured to see or hear some interesting birds.  In the spring time the Sandhill Cranes can be heard as they fly into the marsh in search of nesting habitat, or the majestic Trumpeter Swans can be heard trumpeting as they attract a mate. 

This month at Wye Marsh we are offering an Introduction to Bird Photography Workshop and an In Flight Bird Photography Workshop in partnership with World-Renowned National Geographic Photographer David G. Hemmings.
