Did you know the City of Windsor has been designated a Bird Friendly City by Nature Canada and an official bird was recently selected to represent the city?
With community input shared through the Best of Windsor Essex Awards, and through Windsor’s Parks department, the Tufted Titmouse will represent the City of Windsor! The Tufted Titmouse is a unique songbird with strong ties to oak woodland and oak savanna. As such, Windsor is one of the few places in Canada that this very social and vocal bird can call home. They make their nests in natural holes and cavities left by woodpeckers.
The Tufted Titmouse can be found in the oak woodland natural areas that are unique to Windsor, including Ojibway Prairie Complex and Optimist Memorial Park.
