Bird Watching in Melita Area

Melita & Area is listed as an “Important Bird Watching Area” and attracts birdwatchers from around the world. Local bird watching maps are available.

Dubbed the Grasslands Bird Capital of Manitoba, the Melita area provides birdwatchers an opportunity to catch a glimpse of several increasingly rare prairie species, including the Ferruginous Hawk, the Burrowing Owl, the Loggerhead Shrike, and the Baird’s Sparrow, all of which are endangered species in Manitoba. From beginner to experienced, birdwatchers love the Melita area as there are other species that are more numerous here than anywhere else in the province.
