Recommended Saskatchewan Birdwatching Hotspots:

Pelican Lake
50.52 N  106.03 W
Large numbers of shorebirds and waterfowl utilize Pelican Lake during both the spring and fall migration. Marbled Godwits, Wilson's Phalaropes and American Avocets are often present during the spring and fall migration.

Prince Albert National Park
54.00 N   106.50 W
The park is in a transitional zone where aspens and grasslands become boreal forest farther north. This is a great place to look for the northern forest specialties like Great Gray Owl, Boreal Chickadees and Black-backed Woodpeckers.
