Join Nature Guelph Bird Wing for a day of finding shorebirds within the Wellington/Waterloo area. With the fall migration underway, we will visit a few spots where shorebirds are likely to be encountered locally. This volunteer-led outing will be a follow-up for our September speaker session (Sept 4 - Southbound Shorebirds with Jean Iron).
Potential locations may include:
- Guelph Lake
- Belwood Lake & vicinity
- Wilson’s Flats
- Floradale
Actual locations visited and route will be decided closer to the day based on recent sightings.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED (Limited to 20 participants) Nature Guelph members are welcome to register early. Non-members may only register two weeks before the event:
