FREE Beginner-Friendly Bird Walk

October 31 Bird Walk Update - Hike is a go!

Fall Migration Bird Walk — Warblers, Songbirds and more!

Start your Halloween with a little magic in nature! Join us for a spook-tacular morning bird walk as we explore the trails in search of resident and migratory birds. Enjoy the crisp autumn air, vibrant fall colors, and the sounds of nature awakening around us. Whether you're a seasoned birder or just curious about the feathered friends that share our parks, this family-friendly beginner walk is a fun way to celebrate Halloween morning. Costumes are welcome, and keep an eye out for our "early birds" before the ghosts and goblins come out to play!

"No tricks, just tweets!"

Your walk will be led by expert birder - Peter Sproule, sharing real-time ID tips, migration insights, and behaviour cues to help you spot more birds and understand what you’re seeing. Expect mixed feeding flocks, bright fall plumage, and lots of opportunities to practice your skills.

Participation is limited to thirty (30) registered individuals. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars if available. Please note that the walk may venture beyond paved trails in some areas, and ground conditions could be wet or muddy. Suitable footwear is highly recommended.

Please Note: We will reply to your email to confirm your attendance for the walk or to notify you if the walk is fully booked. If your circumstances change and you are unable to attend, please inform us at your earliest convenience.
