Image: Environmental follow-up
The bird follow-up program will include aerial and field surveys in various areas to check the extent of the impacts on waterfowl, raptors, woodland birds and special-status species. It will also assess usage of the nesting platforms and new ponds.

Nesting platforms will be set up around the Rupert diversion bays for great gray owls and, as needed, for osprey and bald eagles.

Some ponds will be created in a wooded peatland north of the tailbay to encourage Bonaparte's gulls to breed.
Creation of the diversion bays will flood the nesting areas of several bird species.
