Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Nahanni National Park Reserve
61.00 N 126.00 W
You must fly into the park in a hired plane or helicopter. It is a true wilderness with rugged mountains and spruce forests. Look for Blue Grouse, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Bohemian Waxwing and Trumpeter Swan. Visit in June through August.

Wood Buffalo National Park
60.20 N 113.20 W
The northeast corner of this park is in the Northwest territories (most of the park is in Alberta). This area supports the entire breeding population of migratory Whooping Cranes during the late spring and summer months.
