Want to go bird watching but don't know where to start? Wild Birds Unlimited is excited to host FREE introductory walks to birdwatching.
Upcoming Walks
Beginner Bird Walk - Warblers Edition! Sunday September 15, 2024 - REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Leading our walk is David O'Neill. David has been a passionate birder since childhood, with his love for the outdoors spanning all seasons. His interest in birding deepened in 2017 after a bike accident, which led him to spend even more time immersed in nature. David's birding journey has been enriched by his participation in Project FeederWatch since 2016 and a personal challenge from a friend to learn bird calls, a skill that has greatly enhanced his birdwatching experiences.
With a deep appreciation for all wildlife, David's nature walks often include observing not just birds, but also bugs, rodents, plants, trees, and flowers. His favourite birds are Pileated Woodpeckers, Great Egrets, and Snowy Owls, though he holds a deep affection for all birds. When he's not exploring local trails, David spends about 5 hours each day in his yard, with his weekend walks beginning at sunrise and continuing until late morning. Join David for this month's guided bird walk and experience the beauty of nature through the eyes of an enthusiastic and knowledgeable birder.
