Winter Birds

Date: 

Monday, January 23, 2023

Manitoba is well known for its long, cold winters. Despite this, a surprising number of birds can be found here in this season, from hardy resident species to irruptive visitors from the north and waifs and strays lingering beyond the autumn.  This workshop will introduce you to these birds and provide advice on helping them survive the harsh conditions.
