Ojibway Bird Checklist

A total of 244 species have been recorded in the Ojibway Prairie Complex (within 5 km [3 mi] of the intersection of Highway 18 and Sprucewood Road). Names marked with an N are breeding species. Names marked with an * are rarely recorded. Changes made to this list since the last update in 1998 are shown in blue.

Ontario's first Greater Prairie Chicken was collected at Ojibway but this species has not been recorded since 1897. "Audubon's Warbler" was first recorded in 2001 but is currently considered a sub-species of Yellow-rumped Warbler. Common names and arrangement follow the American Ornithological Union list, including the 41st Supplement of July 1997.
