Watching, feeding and interacting with a large variety of birds:
Over 200 breeding pairs of Canada Geese nest in the park each year. The main duck species that regularly nest in the MBS include Mallard, Northern Pintail and Blue-winged Teal. The MBS also attracts at least 115 species of migrants, including large numbers of spring and fall staging waterfowl, with up to 7500 Canada Geese at a time in recent years. Canada Geese from the Wascana flock were used in restocking programs throughout Saskatchewan and as far away as Quebec, British Columbia, Florida and New Mexico at a time when conservation of this species was a priority. |
