Celebrate the Spring Migration!
Take flight with TRCA and participate in the Spring Bird Festival, with a series of events celebrating the return of 50 million migratory birds to Toronto each spring.
Located on the Toronto Waterfront at the convergence of two major migratory flyways, Tommy Thompson Park is Toronto’s largest greenspace and provides critical stopover habitat for migrating birds.
There have been 334 species of birds recorded at the park, including at least 55 breeding species!
