Join SPES on our monthly Bird Count to support the collection of baseline data to monitor the local bird biodiversity in Stanley Park. The checklists will also be submitted to eBird as part of Global Big Day. Alongside the SPES Team Leader and other volunteers, you’ll improve your bird identification and bird watching skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Do you find it challenging to find and photograph birds? Are you looking to improve the quality of your bird photos? Join biologist and photographer Kris Cu (BC Outreach Specialist, Birds Canada) to learn more about your camera settings and the skills you need to capture stunning images. The workshop will be hands-on and will cover topics such as finding elusive subjects, working with the light, shooting creatively and wildlife photography ethics.
