Churchill & Southern Manitoba
From: $1,000 CAD
Manitoba is rapidly establishing a reputation as one of the premier locations on the continent for viewing and photographing iconic northern birds and mammals. This tour will take you to many of Manitoba’s premier wildlife-viewing sites and to an incredible diversity of habitats including the rich prairies, wetlands, aspen parklands and mixed forests of southern Manitoba and finally to Churchill, the premier gateway to the north, where one can revel in taiga, tundra and other arctic environs.
Our Churchill and Southern Manitoba birding tour occurs when breeding will be well underway, with nesting Willow Ptarmigan, Hudsonian Godwit, American Golden-Plover, Stilt Sandpiper and many others on the tundra and in the boreal forest. Our tour also coincides with the migration of those species which breed in the High Arctic, such as Long-tailed Jaeger and Sabine’s Gull.
Coupled with the spectacular birding will be rewarding mammal viewing with possibilities including elk, moose and black bear in Riding Mountain. As well, we may see caribou, beluga and with luck even fox, lynx or even polar bear. This is sure to be a very diverse and rewarding tour!
