Some birds of interest include: Merlin, Spotted Sandpiper, Downy Woodpecker, Eastern Kingbird, Warbling Vireo, Black-billed Magpie, House Wren, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, Clay-colored, Chipping and Song Sparrow,, Yellow Warbler and Common Yellowthroat. Additional migrating warblers may be seen in late May and late August / early September.
Testimonial
Stanley was as polite, informative, and knowledgeable as you could want in a guide for this kind of tour. We spent about two hours moving up and down a trail along the river at a leisurely pace while he picked out different birds either by their song or by catching sight of them flying by us. He had a wealth of knowledge about the different birds we spotted, some of the other wildlife in the area, and of Saskatoon too. I was curious about his interest and background in birding and he was happy to chat about it which was really interesting. His passion for birds and birding comes through in spades and I’d recommend this tour to anyone. C. Nolan, Ireland
Situated 30 minutes from Saskatoon on the edge of the Strawberry Hills, Porter Lake Important Bird Area attracts over 120 bird species over the course of the year. Colonies of Double-crested Cormorants and Bank Swallows have nested here in recent years.
This Ferry Birding Tour is ideal for low-mobility clients because they may remain in their vehicle during most of this driving tour.
