  • Saskatchewan Birding Trail Experience (Pdf)
    askatchewan has a wealth of birdwatching opportunities ranging from the fall migration of waterfowl to the spring rush of songbirds and shorebirds. It is our hope that this Birding Trail Guide will help you find and enjoy the many birding Slocations in our province. Some of our Birding Trail sites offer you a chance to see endangered species such as Piping Plovers, Sage Grouse, Burrowing Owls, and even the Whooping Crane as it stops over in Saskatchewan during its spring and fall migrations. Saskatchewan is comprised of four distinct eco-zones, from rolling prairie to dense forest. Micro-environments are as varied as the bird-life, ranging from active sand dunes and badlands to marshes and swamps. Over 350 bird species can be found in the province. Southwestern Saskatchewan represents the core of the range of grassland birds like Baird's Sparrow and Sprague's Pipit. The mixed wood boreal forest in northern Saskatchewan supports some of the highest bird species diversity in North America, including Connecticut Warbler and Boreal Chickadee. More than 15 species of shorebirds nest in the province while others stop over briefly en-route to their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada. Chaplin Lake and the Quill Lakes are the two anchor bird watching sites in our province. These sites are conveniently located on Saskatchewan's two major highways, the Trans-Canada #1 and Yellowhead #16. Both are excellent birding areas! Oh! ....... don't forget, birdwatching in Saskatchewan is a year round activity. While migration provides a tremendous opportunity to see vast numbers of birds, winter birding offers you an incomparable opportunity to view many species of owls and woodpeckers and other Arctic residents such as Gyrfalcons, Snowy Owls and massive flocks of Snow Buntings.

  • Where to Go Quill Lakes
    Where to go: Quill Lakes The Conservator January 2006 Word count: 822 By Bruce Masterman [email protected] Spring and fall are magical seasons at Quill Lakes in central Saskatchewan. In those two seasons, the internationally famous birding area -- comprised of Big Quill, Little Quill and Mud lakes – jointly conjures up a magnificent and powerful display of waterfowl that draws visitors from around the world. This natural spectacle never fails to amaze no matter how many times it’s witnessed. “My strongest memory is the sight and sound of thousands of waterfowl lifting off the marsh all at once only a few yards in front of me,” says Chuck Deschamps, who has worked in the area as a Ducks Unlimited Canada biologist for 15 years. “They make so much noise with their wings that it’s like thunder.” Locals like to say Quill Lakes boasts more incoming flights than the airports at Los Angeles and Miami combined. That’s probably not much of a stretch. The lakes host more than one million birds – from 300-plus species – each year. In spring and fall migrations, the area is a resting stop for more than 200,000 shorebirds, 400,000 ducks, 130,000 snow geese, 80,000 Canada geese and 40,000 sandhill cranes. Last fall, Quill Lakes received considerable media attention after hunters shot three geese combining the features of both snow and Canada geese. The lakes are home to breeding colonies of American white pelicans, western grebes, eared grebes, black crowned night herons and endangered species such as the piping plover (25 per cent of Canada’s piping plovers nest here), and migrating whooping cranes and peregrine falcons.
