Birdwatching
| The region around Telkwa affords great sightings of birds for the novice and experienced birder. Spring will bring migratory birds in great numbers as they head to breeding grounds in Alaska and the Arctic. The Arctic Tern is seen after its long journey from the southern areas. A walk by the river will bring sightings of the spunky American Dipper and the common Merganser. |  |

Looking up you can see great flocks of sandhill cranes, Canadian geese, swans and white fronted geese. Summer months present the birds who will stay to rear their young. Around Tyhee Lake, warblers, sparrows, belted kingfishers and eagles nest. Lots of birds on the water as well as a variety of shore birds including the American Bitterns, Yellow-Headed and Red-Winged Blackbirds. When winter returns to the land those hardy souls who remain entertain many birders who feed them. Chickadees, repolls, siskins, varieties of woodpeckers all take advantage of wild food and seed provided. A checklist of birds of this region is available at local book stores. |
