Is that a Swainson’s Thrush or an American Robin? Join Hana Hermanek, bird biologist, for a visit to Lynn Canyon’s forests! You’ll learn how to recognize common resident and migratory birds by ear.
The variety of habitats at Blackie Spit will offer up a diversity of lovely birds. Family fun, bird displays, nest box building, eagle mask craft, and a special talk on the raptors around us. Dress for the weather, bring binoculars if you have them and a water bottle.
Children ages 5 – 10 can join us just before Bird Week to celebrate birds, bats, and insects! Grab your binoculars and get ready to hone your observation skills. Discover some of the winged creatures that fly in, around, and above the Garden, including what they eat and where they sleep, before creating a craft that might just take flight.
Enjoy a beautiful walk in nature and learn the basics of birding at Colony Farm Regional Park. No experience required!
Birds are a gateway to nature, inspiring connection to and appreciation of the world around us. During May, over 250 species of birds can be seen and enjoyed throughout the Lower Mainland.
