The Ontario Forest Birds program monitors forest bird populations throughout Ontario. It is comprised of two programs: the Ontario Forest Birds at Risk Program (OFBAR) and the newly acquired Forest Birds Monitoring Program (FBMP).
OFBAR targets Species at Risk by monitoring their populations and productivity where habitat loss and fragmentation are greatest in southern Ontario.
The FBMP is a Citizen Science-based program that monitors populations of all forest birds in large interior forests throughout Ontario.
