Registration for this workshop opens on Wednesday, March 26th at 9 am.
Spring is finally here, and Eramosa River is alive with bird life! This birding workshop provides time and space to explore some of the city’s best urban natural areas, connect with like-minded friends, and maybe gain a new perspective on the natural world.
On The Wing is GOS' signature birding workshop, intended to guide and inspire you to deeper connection with the birds and nature in your ‘backyard’. Bringing over 15 years of bird-guiding and outdoor education experience, GOS's birding mentor Matthew Iles hopes to not only show you some resident and visiting birds, but to share ID tips and tricks, tools for listening to bird language, questions about bird track and sign, along with plenty of stories.
Session price: $85 +HST. If cost is a barrier, please see our Economics for a Changing World page for sliding-scale and mutual aid options.
Since 2020, On The Wing has been rooted in curiosity, awareness, and inclusivity – intended for the absolute beginner to fully-fledged bird-nerd. Every feather found is a tracking mystery waiting to be unraveled. Just as much about connecting with yourself and others, as it is about knowing how to identify each species.
Dress for the weather, with sturdy footwear for a gentle walk. Snacks and water, maybe a hot beverage, recommended. Please feel welcome to reach out with any accessibility concerns ahead of time.
