Ducks Unlimited Canada is a leader in wetland conservation and they work hard to protect areas that are critical to waterfowl, wildlife and the environment. In the birding community we call this area the Legacy Marsh which was previously part of the Doumont farm. The marsh itself offers great viewing opportunities but many birds can also be seen in the forest along the powerlines to the east and west of the marsh. In addition to abundant waterfowl, here is a list of other birds that are often seen in the area: great blue heron, turkey vulture, bald eagle, hawks, quail, hummingbird, red-breasted sapsucker, woodpecker, flicker, swallow, chickadee, bushtit, wren, nuthatch, grosbeak, thrush, robin, cedar waxwing, vireo, warbler, flycatcher, western tanager, spotted towhee, sparrow, cowbird, red-winged blackbird and finch.
Because this is a sensitive environment, please be respectful and tread lightly. You are looking for a bison tube with only a logbook. Bring your own writing stick though.
UPDATE AUGUST 2021 - Due to overgrowth, container was moved about 3 metres north/northeast from ground zero. Access to the area can only be made from the road. Watch for the sensitive painted turtle nesting area!
