HAPPENING TOMORROW MORNING/Sat May 30th! A guided Bird Walk at the Deanery Project!

The Deanery had their own beautiful Dawn Chorus bird walk with Zoologist Eric Cole last weekend. Many birds were heard and spotted! If you missed that one, or it was too early in the morning for you, come on over for this one!

Bird Week is an annual celebration hosted by the Bird Friendly Halifax Coalition, a working group of organizations and individuals trying to make HRM more bird-friendly. They have a series of guided Bird Walks planned in each HRM District during the week of May 25 - 31, so municipal Councillors and citizens can learn about birds in their neighbourhood and understand where more work is needed to protect our feathered friends.

Register using the link in our LinkTree or just drop by and join in!

Dawn Chorus at the Deanery with Zoologist Eric Cole!

Join Zoologist Eric Cole for an early bird watching and listening hike around the grounds of The Deanery. May is when our neo-tropical migrant birds return to breed and when our gardens and woods fill again with birdsong. Our casual survey will involve:
-a stop-start stroll listening for and identifying any singing birds
-trying to get a look at the songsters
-completing an E-bird checklist of birds seen
-chatting with Eric and asking questions about birds

You can find the registration link for this free event in the LinkTree we have in our bio. Hope to see you there!
