HASTINGS PARK BIRD WALK FOR BEGINNERS, MARCH 21, 9AM
Green Heron
Join Sarah-Jane McAuley and Neill Vanhinsberg for a walk around the park checking the pond, wooded area and gardens for early spring migrants and resident birds. The walk will start at 9 AM and last approximately 2+ hours. This is an easy walk on mostly level ground with a few small hills. Trails are either paved or hard packed. There will be a limited number of binoculars to lend out if you don’t have a pair.
Our emphasis will be on finding and identifying birds from a beginner’s perspective then, observing their behaviours. Questions are encouraged! You can check out the latest sightings at the park on ebird https://ebird.org/hotspot/L312198/bird-list

Pay parking is available in the park but there is some free street parking in the area. There are bus stops close to the park. Meet up location will be sent with confirmations
