Join Neill Vanhinsberg and Jan Lowcock for a morning birding field trip, exploring the Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park. We will walk along the north edge of the Fraser River, through a cottonwood grove and along several offshoot trails, from our starting point near the mouth of Byrne Creek. Previous surveys have yielded a good selection of species, Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, various woodpeckers, Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, gulls, ducks, grebes, sparrows and thrushes. We’ll keep an eye out for warblers and other migrants. Time permitting, we can head further upriver toward the Estuary Wetland Area. 

Trails are well packed and level, although we may have some muddy, uneven sections. Birders at all levels of experience are welcome. It’s fun when everyone can learn and share their knowledge. 

For further information please, preregister at nvanhinsberg@gmail.com. Let us know if you need a set of loaner binoculars.

We should have a “sweet spot” for birding, looking for migrants before the trees come into full leaf.
