About this Event

Early in the day, the air is calm and other sounds are low. Join us to revel in an incredible natural symphony as birds pass overhead on their southern migration south. Sasan Beni, TBG Seasonal Horticulturist, and avid birder, will be on hand to help identify the birds we hear and see.

Bring your binoculars for a better view (we will have extras on hand) and a mug/thermos for a warm beverage and post-birding chat.

Please Note: As with any wildlife tour, the spotting of birds and other wildlife is not guaranteed and is not within the control of the tour guide. Please be patient and considerate. The tour will not be rescheduled due to lack bird sightings. The tour will only be rescheduled due to inclement weather.

Meet at the TBG main entrance, just outside the George and Kathy Dembroski Centre for Horticulture. The walk will start promptly at 5:30 a.m., arrive early to arrive on time.

Saturday, May 30 from 5:30 to 7 a.m.

Public $22, Members $20 (plus applicable taxes and fees)
