Hello Young Birders!!

Join us this Sunday, September 27th, at 9am for a forest bird walk at Birch Grove Park!
This area has a nice forested trail in the back with a pond-perfect for a morning stroll with the birds!

With fall upon us, make sure to dress for the weather and wear appropriate footing (trail might be mucky if it’s been raining☔️).

We will meet towards the back of the park where the pond is! There is plenty of parking space in the back and along the gravel road in the park.

Dont forget to bring your binoculars and tell your friends! We look forward to seeing you there!🦅

Hello young birders!!🦉

We’re back! Life has been busy and the weather hasn’t been cooperating in our favour lately😅

With that being said, the forecast for this Sunday looks great, so please join us for our next bird walk this Sunday, September 13th at 5pm for a coastal evening bird walk at Big Glace Bay Beach!! With fall approaching and shorebirds still showing up, we wanted to visit the location of our very first bird walk before the summer ends!!

We hope to see you all there! Remember to dress for the weather and tell your friends!🦅

Hello Young Birders! Here’s an informational about eBird, a free platform that transforms your bird sightings into science and conservation!

eBird is an excellent way for birders to keep track of every bird species they’ve seen, and is also a great way to contribute to citizen science while learning more about the bird species around us!

You can download eBird on the AppStore and follow this link to check out the eBird website to get started with an account: https://ebird.org/home
