Description

Join local birding enthusiast and retired outdoor educator, Peter Rasberry, for some Spring birding at the Isaac Lake Management Area Saturday, May 18, 2025.  223 species have been recorded here on eBird between October 2014 and December 2024.  This date should put us smack in the middle of spring migration which bodes well for both warblers and waterfowl, and a host of other songbirds! All levels of birding welcome! This hike is a family friendly hike - a "walk, sit/stand, listen/observe" type of hike. Binoculars would be helpful. A head bug net may be helpful. Wear a hat, longsleeved shirt/pants, and sunblock. Bring a light backpack to carry water, snacks, bird ID guides, insect repellent and personal materials.A portapottie is available at the boat launch. A portable sit-stool/lawn chair is optional. Binoculars and bird ID guides are available to borrow from your local Bruce County library - book ahead. This bird hike will be about 2 hours in duration. Participants are welcome to linger longer after the group hike.
