Winter Birding Course 2012

Would you like to learn more about the birds of Fish Creek Provincial Park and other natural areas? In the winter birds are easier to see with the leaves off of the trees, there are fewer species present, and they often occur in large flocks. By springtime, you will already know 50 to 60 bird species thus making the new migrants so much easier to identify. All sessions will be outdoors and take place in Fish Creek Provincial Park and other natural areas within Calgary. As a fundraiser for the Friends of Fish Creek, most outings will be conducted by lifelong birder and naturalist Gus Yaki. Sunday morning outings will be conducted by Bob Lefebvre and Dan Arndt. Course fees provide revenue needed to support the Friends’ programs. We are also offering a special weekly outing for photographers, and considering weekend afternoon bookings for the winter period, from 1:15 - 4:00 pm. Please email chris@friendsoffishcreek.org and let us know if these outings are of interest to you. 12-week Winter Birding Course Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays beginning January 9, 10, 12, 14 or 15, 2012. $50.00 for Friends members and $75.00 for non-members.
