On The Wing Spring Birding Series: Session 1
Registration for this workshops opens Tuesday, March 22nd at 10 am.
Track the spring migration in one of our birding workshops! On the Wing is birding à la Guelph Outdoor School – simplified and made fun - rooted in curiosity, awareness, and the bigger picture – designed for absolute beginner to fully-fledged bird-nerd. Every feather found is a tracking mystery waiting to be unraveled. Connect with nature in your backyard. Connect with the birds, yourself and others.
We’ll look at breaking down identification into accessible chunks, ask questions about bird language, do some mindful bird-sits, get stoked for migration, and ponder how we can decolonize birding.
Session 1 focuses on deconstructing and simplifying identification. We'll hopefully encounter early migrants, including some waterfowl.
