Description
Please join us for this birding hike, led by birding expert David Turner. David started birding as a youth in his home town in England, where he was born. He has been actively studying the birds in the Beaver Valley for over 15 years and has spotted over 230 species of the known 240 species. David started the Beaver Valley Birding Club, to bring together birding enthusiasts. It has over 770 members and is still growing. It will be a treat and very educational to spend some time with David as he shares his expertise.
We will meet at Tim's on 1st Street in Collingwood and carpool to Conc 10 Nottawasaga and follow the trail east past a beautiful meadow where Bobolinks nest. We will look for singing males defending their territories. There is a mix of hardwoods, cedars, and a sparkling stream that should provide more birds and spring wildflowers. We will loop back to our cars having completed about a 5 km hike. Bring your binoculars!
Spaces will be limited to 15 hikers, so please register in advance.
