Young Birders' Club - Spring Migration

Join the Young Birders' Club!

A birding excursion series just for kids!

*** Due to weather, our May 15th session has been rescheduled to Saturday, May 21st***

We will be cycling at this session.

Young Birders will:

• Learn how to use binoculars
• Learn how to spot and identify birds
• Visit the Bird Research Station
• Meet other youth interested in birding

The Young Birders' Club is an opportunity for youth, aged 9-12, to enjoy introductory birding walks specifically geared for young people. Our goal is to look for birds at Tommy Thompson Park through the spring migration season, and to develop our birding skills. In addition to hiking or cycling, other fun activities will take place to complement the birding. The club will meet on four occasions this spring, and with every meeting, our bird observation and identification skills will improve. On our fourth and final meeting this season, families are invited to come along on our birding hike to learn from our Young Birders!

Binoculars and field guides are provided for the meetings.

Delivered by a certified teacher.

We encourage Young Birders to attend all four meetings, if possible, however if this isn't an option, we look forward to having birders present at the meeting you can attend! We will be cycling for two of the meetings. Participants are to bring their own bicycles and helmets. When not on bikes, please note that meetings will involve a significant amount of walking.

Meeting dates are on the following Sunday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

• April 17 - cycling
• May 1 (on foot)
• May 15 - cycling
• May 29 (on foot - On this date, families of Young Birders are invited to come birding with us!)
