Many shorebirds have been streaming south for weeks, and more recently the nighthawks, swallows, warblers, and others have started to move as well. To celebrate the annual migration, the Toronto Ornithological Club is offering a series of four free walks over the next six weeks, designed to captured a wide cross-section of the species moving through our area. Each trip is led by an experienced member of the TOC, and everyone is welcome to attend.
All walks are accessible by public transit.
These outings are in principle aimed at intermediate birders, but beginners and experts alike are always welcome too. Trips such as these offer great opportunities to learn valuable field identification tips from more experienced birders, so if you're getting frustrated by confusing fall warblers, shorebirds, etc., come on out to these walks. We won't turn you into an expert overnight, but I can almost guarantee you'll see interesting birds and learn something on each outing. I will try to attend as many as possible myself, and look forward to meeting some of you there. Leader Glenn Coady.
