Join us for Beginner Birding at Fanshawe Conservation Area and learn about the wonderous world of birds in our region! Learn tips and tricks about how to spot local birds, use binoculars, and identify different species. Learn some calls and songs, discover unique behaviours, and recognize distinct features of birds. Join us on a nature walk through the forest and meadow to discover what birds are all around us! By the end, you will be ready to head out bird watching with some tools and knowledge to recognize common birds!
No prior knowledge about birds is necessary. Don't forget your binoculars! Some binoculars will be available to borrow during the event. The Beginner Birding event is a great event for budding birders and enthusiasts alike! However, all children must be accompanied by at least one adult. This event does not require advanced registration; however, there are only 40 spots available and they will be offered on a first come, first served basis. You may want to arrive early to claim your spot.
We can’t wait to explore with you!
