Oak Hammock Marsh
Oak Hammock Marsh is a North American birding hotspot and a must see for any birding adventure. More than 100 species of birds breed in or near the marsh, and some 300 species have been sighted here. During migration the number of waterfowl using the marsh can exceed 400,000 daily. The Marsh is part of a 3,600 hectar Management Area that includes the restored marsh, aspen-oak blufs, waterfowl lure crops, artesian springs, remnants of tall grass prairie and 30 kilometres of trails.
Tourist Tip: The roof’s observation deck is a great place for an evening of watching the geese during fall migration.
