Each spring, millions of birds flap to the Northwest Territories to feast, breed and rear their young. They join a handful of hearty, cold-adapted species that soar throughout the territory year-round. Together, these 280 breeds of birds turn our nightless skies into a symphony of honks, hoots, tweets and croaks. For the birders who flock here from all over the world, this is music to their ears. Out come the binoculars – bringing these species, especially, into focus.
