Come Birding with Me as we explore birding and biodiversity on a free guided walk for Mandarin speakers.
Led by biologist Andrew Huang, this walk will introduce you to the birds found at Iona Beach Regional Park. See birds like Western sandpipers, Yellow-rumped warblers, and Red-winged blackbirds while meeting new people and sharing in the outdoors.
This program will meet at Iona Beach Regional Park, Richmond, by the washrooms.
Please try to arrive 15 minutes in advance of the program.
This program is a part of the Birding with Me series, collaboratively organized by the Canadian Wildlife Service and Stanley Park Ecology Society, and supported by Birds Canada.
About Your Bird Guide
您好！我叫做Andrew，目前在加拿大政府的環境部擔任野鳥保育員。從小到大在台北跟溫哥華成長的我，雖然四處都是海跟高山，但從來沒有特別注意到身邊的野生動物，是直到我開始上大學後才發覺原來城市中也可以體驗到鳥類自然生態。你們知道列治文不只是個美食天堂或是逛碼頭的地方嗎？這次在艾歐那海灘公園，我會先帶你們去觀看一間候鳥研究繫放站（可以近看小型鳥類喔！），接下來再去公園的沼澤跟樹林中觀看各種不同的鳥類。活動免費，名額有限。
Hello! My name is Andrew and I’m currently a biologist at the Canadian Wildlife Service. Growing up in Taipei and Vancouver, I never took notice of the wildlife around me despite always being surrounded by the water and mountains. It wasn’t until university that I started noticing the diversity of birds and other wildlife around me, and that you really don’t have to go far from your house to see them. Did you know that Richmond isn’t just about eating delicious dumpling soup noodles or taking a stroll in a fishing wharf? At Iona, you will be dazzled by the diversity and abundance of birds! This 2-hour trip at Iona will start out by a visit to a banding station to see songbirds close-up, followed by a bird walk through the marshes, beaches, and forests. I look forward to meeting you all!
