Birdwatching in Manitoba

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. _____________________________________________________________ We want to hear about your experiences with Birdingpals.

		Self-taught naturalist, nature and fine art landscape photographer. Spend the winter months photographing Snowy Owls, Northern Hawk owls and everything else that captures my imagination from a photography perspective. I'm located 15 miles north of Manitoba's capital city Winnipeg and reside in the southern portion on Manitoba's Interlake Region which is a birding MECCA. Literally hundreds of species of birds utilise the region for the purpose of breeding. From acquatic birds to songbirds ranging from Black Terns to Common Yellow-throat Warblers, Bald eagles to Osprey, White Pelicans to the Ruby-throated Humming bird, this region is HOT!!! If you love birding or photographing nature and awesome landscapes, better consider marking this region down your palces to visit list.
Professional Guides If you contact a professional Birdingpal guide you must be prepared to pay a fee for guiding services.

		With more than 200 bird species passing through each season, Churchill is one of the great destinations for the birding enthusiast. Areas visited will vary depending upon the current location of species sought by those on tour. Some of the unique species which may be seen include: Ross's Gull, Smith's Longspur, Parasitic Jaeger, Hoary Redpoll, Willow Ptarmigan and Pacific Loon. Churchill Wilderness Encounter's exclusive five-day birding tour packages are offered throughout May and June. At this time, you can expect to see approximately 100 species. Many are passing through the sub-arctic on their way to their arctic nesting grounds. Tours are conducted by Bonnie Chartier, with more than thirty years of birding experience in the Churchill area and author of the American Birding Association/Lane "A Birder's Guide to Churchill". Fees depend on duration of the trip and group size".

		We are a couple of miles from the Oak Hammock Wildlife Management Area and 15 miles from the Netley Marsh. Oak Hammock is the biggest staging area for geese in North America and the Netley Marsh is 55,000 square acres with plenty of viewing opportunities. The world's largest concentration of snakes is an hour's drive away, and we are a little over an hour from the Canadian shield in the Whiteshell Provincial Park. We have great birding/wildlife opportunities and we will custom fit your trip to suit your needs. Photographers welcome. Arrive a client and depart a friend.
