The perfect way to learn about birds and birding! If you are interested in learning the basics of birding but don't know where to start or you need help identifying birds, this series of outings is for you. The outings take place every Tuesday evening from 2 to 30 May and always start at 6:30 p.m. These outings will be led by Ward Christianson and Marlene Waldron, and possibly other knowledgeable birders. No registration is needed.  See individual activities for additonal information.

Time / Location: Meet at Humpty’s Restaurant (McGillivray & SW Perimeter) at 9:30 AM. We’ll drive the 22 km / 15 minutes along highway 334 to the Starbuck MB boat launch.

Note: The original launch location at Elie wasn't going to work for kayaks or more than 3 canoes because of bottlenecks, 2 dams/weirs, and 5 culverts.

Description: The La Salle River is wide at Starbuck. This will be an out-and-back paddle for an appropriate length of time. Ray led a Grey Hares paddle on the La Salle River from Starbuck on 2021-Oct-06 in fairly low water (9K upstream + 9K back).

Lunch: We'll find a shore location for lunch.

Bring: Water, sunscreen, your name tag, and extra clothes.
