Jim will be taking the months of July an August off—please watch for the August 2024 newsletter for future Saturday morning bird walks with Jim.
All participants on any bird walk must have purchased a ticket through our website – www.wildbirdstore.ca and present the ticket to Jim prior to the bird walk. The weather plays a big part in bird walks and Jim reminds participants to dress anticipating weather changes and to carry water to keep hydrated.
Below are a couple of suggestions as to where to go to see birds on your own while Jim is away—
CARBURN PARK is always a great destination for songbirds as well as waterfowl and shorebirds. But any of the destinations within Fish Creek Park are not only a wonderful way to spend the day, but sure to include lots of bird sightings.
INGLEWOOD BIRD SANCTUARY enjoy not only the history and the trails, but you just never know what birds you will see and be sure to enjoy the Nature Center
FRANK LAKE American white pelicans, Double-breasted cormorants, Grebes—the list goes on and on. Enjoy being up close viewing waterfowl and shorebirds from the boardwalk and blind. You are sure to add a few birds to your life list!
ELLIS BIRD FARM outside of Lacombe. Purple martins, Bluebirds, House wrens, American goldfinch and Hummingbirds just to mention a few. Enjoy the Nature Center and stop by the Tea House (best to make reservations for lunch).
We offer a discount if you return your 20 LB or 40 LB seed bags so that we can re-use them (sorry—not the Mother Nature bags which we cannot re-use), suet ball containers, or if you bring your own container or bag to fill . This discount is in addition to any other discount offered.
