Kensington Conservancy partnering with Parks Canada for special birding event on May 11
To mark World Migratory Bird Day, the Kensington Conservancy is collaborating with Parks Canada again this year to provide special access to Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site — allowing birders to experience the wonders of spring migration.Fort St. Joseph, which is also home to the St. Joseph Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary, is well known as a top tier birding location within the Algoma District, the conservancy said in a release.
This event is open to everyone, from experienced birders to those looking to try out the hobby for the first time.Carter Dorscht of the Kensington Conservancy will be present in the ruins area for the day to help point out birds. The highlights included an American White Pelican, 17 species of warbler, a Scarlet Tanager, and at least five Eurasian Tree Sparrows, which set a record for the most seen together at a single time in Canada, according to the conservancy.
"It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them."
