Flight pattern Local birders have long known about the birding hotspots near Lake Ontario — wisdom gained through long hours on the lens and guided by intuition. These are the places that migrating birds use to recharge before crossing the lake in the spring, and after crossing back in the fall. A recent study by several conservation groups backs up the old assumptions with hard data. The study shows that migrating birds do take respite in green space near the lake. And what’s more, it shows
that the same migrants — birds like the blackpoll warbler and the white-crowned sparrow — often use green spaces inland, too. To complete the study, the organizations relied on expert, volunteer birders to conduct counts on public and private properties. They were able to identify spots where migrating birds congregate and to pinpoint other likely hotspots. The organizations hope their work encourages public and private preservation of migratory bird habitat.
