Bird Tweet of the Week: Wilson’s Warbler

We typically see Wilson’s Warblers in this region during the spring and fall migrations, as they are moving to and from their breeding grounds in the boreal forest. Even during migration this species is a bundle of energy, and is most often seen flitting in and out of shrubs and bushes to catch insects.

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.
