Best Places to Bird in Ontario

This past year has been an exciting one, no reason other than Mike and I are writing a book! Part of a Canadian series, we are writing the Ontario section to the Best Places to Bird [in Ontario]. Currently, only the British Columbia guide is out, however, next spring the next book within the series will be out, covering the Prairie Provinces. Our current date for publication is scheduled for spring 2019.

What essentially the guide covers is the authors pick of the best locations to bird in the province. The guidelines are fairly broad, with really only one caveat: narrow the list of top birding sites in the province and narrow it down to 30 locations (easier said than done).

We are currently half way done our first draft, and have a draft list of locations:

1	Holiday Beach and Windsor (lower Detroit River),  Harrow
2	Pelee Island
3	Point Pelee NP
4	Hillman Marsh and Wheatley (harbour, PP)
5	Lake St. Clair NWR and Mitchell's Bay
6	Rondeau PP (Blenheim, Erieau)
7	Sarnia (Point Edward, waterfront, River)
8	Kettle Point, Ipperwash, Pinery
9	MacGregor Point PP and Sauble Beach/south Bruce
10	Port Stanley -- Port Burwell
11	Long Point
12	Niagara River
13	Hamilton (Van Wagners, Lift bridge, windermere, Red Hill Creek, Toll Gate, Edgelake, Stoney Creek shoreline, Fifty Point)
14	Hamilton Harbour (RBG, Princess Point, Lasalle, Bayfront Park) and Oakville/Burlington (Bronte Harbour, Sedgewick, Paletta, Spencer Smith)
15	Mississauga (Rattray Marsh, Port Credit, Lakefront Promenade Park, Col. Sam Smith)
16	Toronto waterfront (Leslie St. Spit, Toronto Islands, Humber Bay, Ashbridge's Bay)
17	Oshawa-Pickering waterfront (Frenchman's Bay, Whitby Harbour, Thickson's Woods, Oshawa 2nd Marsh)
18	Carden Alvar
19	Algonquin PP (Hwy. 60 corridor)
20	Presqu'ile PP
21	Prince Edward County
22	Napannee Plain IBA
23	Amherst Island
24	Wolfe Island and Kingston mainland
25	Opinicon Road and Canoe Lake Road
26	Ottawa (river and Rideau)
27	St. Lawrence (Morrsiburg to Quebec)
28	Moosonee and Southern James Bay
29	Thunder Bay waterfront
30	Rainy River and area

Which leaves us wondering, are there any areas that we're missing???? It's been pretty difficult to narrow it down this much, leaving several areas that aren't covered as much as we'd like (Sault Ste. Marie, Manitoulin, more within the GTA).

We also need to come up with 1-2 photos per chapter -- does anyone have any great photos of birds that they'd like included in the book???? Generally, we've been trying to pick appropriate species for specific areas (e.g., Loggerhead Shrike for Carden Alvar).

Let us know your thoughts!
