Let expert guides from Nature Calgary show you all the bird life on St. Patrick's Island.Join Nature Calgary for a bird walk on St. Patrick's Island on September 13, 2024 and observe the fascinating variety of birds found in their natural habitat. Summer is winding down and we're starting to see more migrating birds head back into Calgary from their breeding grounds to the north. Our Osprey will be almost fully grown and hanging around the park looking for fish! We'll talk about some of the native plants that are still blooming and maybe even spot one of the beavers or mink that frequent the Island!
Our knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the birds and other wildlife you encounter and and talk about their behaviours, making this a great educational opportunity for nature enthusiasts of all ages.
We will have binoculars available for participants who don't have them. Space is limited so don't miss your chance to discover the beauty and diversity of Calgary's birdlife on this exciting nature walk!
These walks are presented in partnership between East Village and Nature Calgary, with all registration fees being donated directly to Nature Calgary.
All walks will start and end at the East Village Headquarters, located directly north of 656 Confluence Way SE on the RiverWalk pathway.
