This section of the website is managed by Mr. David Collyer, a resident of Manor Park and a long-time wildlife aficionado. He is always on the lookout for sightings of wildlife in Manor Park but he can't be everywhere at once. If you see interesting species of wildlife, he would like to hear from you. You may reach him at wildlife@manorpark.ca.

This area of the website has been set up to provide interest and an understanding of what variations of Wildlife are found within the boundaries of Manor Park.

It is my hope that this brief and informative section will provide readers of what may be observed within our boundaries, including birdlife, animals, insects and amphibians. We have a mixture of habitats in our neighborhood, which provide home, food and shelter from climatic conditions as well as from enemies that co-exist within these habitats.

With your help, we can provide our readers with some interesting and hopefully amusing tales during our seasons. I encourage you to report any bird or wildlife sightings within the confines of your property or surrounding neighborhood. You may contact me at the email address on this site.

If you are unable to identify a particular bird and would like my assistance, please respond as quickly as possible to me in the hope we can identify it in the future.

Rare species can be fairly common in the city, especially during spring migration in May. I also maintain my own website on which I have 50 photographs of birds and other animals that I have taken over the past several years.

I have several hundred other such photos on file as well. Please feel free to contact me through the addresses provided here.
