Right now in southern Canada and the U.S., waves of Boreal birds are flying south for the winter, from White-throated Sparrows to Ruby-crowned Kinglets to Palm Warblers. We're heartened that, come spring, Quebec-bound Boreal birds will be able to rely on these additional protected areas. Read the press release >
