Bird Watching Walk: Winter Birds

Meet at 9:30 am – at the Park Info Kiosk at the last parking lot. Level of difficulty – DIFFICULT No rain date. The pace and content of this and all of our birding walks favour new and inexperienced birdwatchers. Experienced birders are also very welcome, especially those willing to share their knowledge and skills. On this leisurely walk along the spectacular Headland Trail, we focus on birds that typically overwinter along our coastline. We expect to see a variety of ducks and other seabirds; including eiders, grebes, scoters, dovekies, guillemots, mergansers, harlequins, long–tails, and gannets. Hiking on exposed coastline in November can be cool and damp, so good boots and seasonally appropriate clothing is recommended. This 5.5 hr walk includes sections of rough, backcountry trail that may be challenging for some. Bring lunch, water, and wear appropriate footwear. Leader: Peter Oickle.
