Whether you're a seasoned birder or just taking flight, a bird walk is always an enjoyable experience!

Bird Walks

 

Join Jeremy Gordon for a two-hour walk through the various locations around the Vancouver lower mainland to look for the many species of birds that frequent the area while he shares his enthusiasm and knowledge.

All Bird Walks Run Rain or Shine!

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear shoes you're comfortable walking in.

 

Not sure what else to bring? Consider this short packing list to make your bird walk more comfortable and enjoyable:

  • Water bottle
  • Field Guide
  • Camera
  • Weather-appropriate hat
  • Binoculars

While it's possible to enjoy birds without any special equipment at all, there are two items which many bird lovers would consider indispensable: a field guide to identify birds and binoculars, without which many birds will remain vague, poorly seen, and as good as invisible to the inattentive. A good pair of binoculars will allow you to identify and enjoy distant birds as easily as the birds on your backyard feeder
