Join leaders Ly Hoang, Sarah-Jane McAuley and Neill Vanhinsberg for a bird walk to celebrate Female Bird Day. This celebration was started in 2020 by the Galbatross Project to spotlight female birds. Avian research in North America has often focused mainly on male birds. More recent research has shown that many female birds not only sing but have behaviours that are quite different from their male counterparts.

The walk will concentrate on finding female birds and learning about them in particular, especially their appearance and behavior.

All birders are welcome from beginner to expert, as well as anyone interested in birds!  The trails are mostly flat but some can be a bit mucky. This walk will be about 2-3 hours. To check out recent sightings at the park you can look here https://ebird.org/hotspot/L261851/bird-list
