Urban Birds of Guelph, Ontario
Please indicate which of the bird species listed below BREED EVERY YEAR IN URBAN HABITATS within the city limits of Guelph, Ontario. Note that we are only scoring the bird’s breeding occurrence; please do not select “yes” if the species migrates through, winters in, or occasionally visits, but does not breed in, the city.

Please note that many of the species listed below likely DO NOT breed in urban habitats in Guelph (i.e., the answer for many species will be NO).

For this survey, “urban habitats” include urban parks and ponds, and industrial, commercial, residential, and suburban areas within the city limits, in addition to the downtown core, but DO NOT include natural or agricultural areas within the city limits (for example, conservation areas, wildlife preserves, isolated patches of natural habitat, or farmlands).

All survey responses are anonymous, but you have the option to provide your name and email address at the end of the survey. Please only complete one survey per city.

Your survey responses aren't finalized until you hit the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the survey, after the final question.

*Note - We follow the taxonomy recognized by the Ontario Field Ornithologists. If you have questions about other aspects of the methods we are using in this study, please consult our FAQs (https://www.bonierlab.com/urban-birds-of-ontario-faqs).
