We have an amazing number of birds in Waterloo Region. According to the list in eBird, the most populous groups are wood warblers and waterfowl. Given that this land was originally one huge forest with two or three rivers and many smaller creeks, this makes sense.
Wood-Warblers: 25 species Waterfowl: 24 species New World Sparrows: 13 species Shore Birds: 12 species Vultures, Hawks, and Allies: 10 species Woodpeckers: 8 species Blackbirds: 8 species
PHOTE: A family of Canada Geese at the Lincoln and Weber Street intersection in Waterloo, June 11 2024 while I was waiting at the bus stop.
