12 Week Winter Birding Course Starts Monday, January 8, 2018
Learn about the variety of bird species in Fish Creek Provincial Park and other natural areas within Calgary through the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society’s Winter Birding Course. In the winter months, birds are much easier to see since the deciduous trees have shed their leaves, there are fewer species present and they often occur in flocks. “In fact, there may well be more individual birds within
Calgary during the winter than in the summer months,” said lifelong naturalist Gus Yaki, who, along with other experienced birding instructors, conducts these outings as a fundraiser for the Friends of Fish Creek.
Registration Required. $60 for Friends members and $100 for non-members. $5 for a youth 16 or younger with a registered adult. To register or for course times, please visit http://www.friendsoffishcreek.org/programs/birding-course
