- Delta Marsh Bird Observatory www.dmbo.org Delta Marsh Bird Observatory (DMBO), located at the south end of Lake Manitoba (24 km north of Portage la Prairie), has been operating since 1992, initially as a fall monitoring site, and then in 1995 as both spring and fall. Although traditionally noted for its abundance of waterfowl, Delta Marsh is also a primary stopover site for migrating songbirds.www.dmbo.org
