The Mountain Bluebird is a very rare visitor to our region and has only been spotted in Ontario a couple of times. However, this past week a female Mountain Bluebird has been spotted and she is visiting us from the mountains and prairies of the west! So why has she come out this way? Listen here to find out!

Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio’s In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to “Bird Tweet of the Week” on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website.

This episode aired on Saturday, December 5th, 2015.
