Join Bird Friendly Selwyn on a birding trip Sunday November 3rd 9am-12pm
Pigeon Lake is a northeast-to-southwest corridor for migrating waterfowl and waterbirds on their annual fall migration to more southerly destinations. On this outing, you will be visiting various vantage points along the eastern shore of Pigeon Lake, looking for concentrations of waterfowl. The open fields inland from the lake will be checked for late fall migrants such as Rougth-legged Hawk, American Pipit and Northern Shrike. This trip will be led by Martin and Kathy Parker, lifetime naturalists and birders, who have led birding trips throughout Ontario and beyond for decades.
THE WHY
Will you commit to making Selwyn Township bird-friendly?
Canada’s birds need your help. There are three billion fewer birds in North America today than 50 years ago. Much of these losses are caused by human activities.
Birds play an essential role in maintaining healthy and resilient ecosystems in our communities and our planet.
