“Whereas spring birding is fairly predictable,” the researcher Julia Zarankin once wrote for Ontario Nature, “the winter presents a palette of surprises.” As birds don’t typically hunker down in the winter, the many species in Ontario can be spotted in snow-covered forests and shorelines throughout the cold season. Since getting fresh air and exercise outdoors is even more important in the colder months, consider getting out to some of these beautiful Ontario spots and take up the peaceful practice of winter birding.
