Join the Bird Wing group in Algonquin for a full day of winter birding. Catch a glimpse of the many winter finches that frequent the park. Enjoy the calls of Crossbills as they fly overhead. We might even be lucky enough to spot a Spruce Grouse, Canada Jay or the notorious Black-backed Woodpecker. We will be starting at the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre and heading out to other hotspots such as Spruce Bog Boardwalk, Opeongo Road and Barron Canyon Trail. Participants will be responsible for their own accommodations and travel to Algonquin.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED (Limited to 20 participants) Nature Guelph members are welcome to register early. Non-members may only register two weeks before the event. https://forms.gle/DXFCYkdJWGQpHgW78
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
- This event is family-friendly, BUT there will be prolonged periods of waiting/standing around, potentially in cold, windy, and/or wet weather. This event is likely not suitable for young children.
- There may be no food service options in the Park in February so everyone is encouraged to bring all the food and supplies they will need for the day.
- DRESS WARMLY & IN LAYERS! It will be colder than you think!
- Bring your binoculars and spotting scopes if you have them. If you need some binoculars, Guelph Public Library has binoculars that can be borrowed.
