Registration opens for everyone else on May 11th.

 

Join us for a birding walk with Hank Scarth at the K-Park Lagoons & the adjacent Bishop’s Lands trail.

This walk explores a great birding hotspot. The trail system includes diverse habitats that harbour a diversity of warblers (16 species noted in recent visits), woodpeckers, flycatchers, thrushes, raptors, etc. The lagoons can have several species of ducks plus shorebirds, flycatchers, swallows, etc.

The trail system has some ups and downs and is somewhat uneven and rocky in places so sturdy footwear is encouraged. Expect to cover 3-4 kilometres.

All experience levels are welcome whether you’re brand new or have been birding for years. Hank is great at helping people learn birds by both sight and sound.

We’ll see some of our regulars like chickadees and Blue Jays, and hopefully catch some migrants like Yellow-rumped Warblers or Northern Parulas.

There’s always a chance for something interesting!

We’ll have a few binoculars available for those who are new.

Free event, but registration is required and spots are limited.
