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 April 29th through May 27th. Meet at various local parks and always start at 6:30 p.m. These outings are led by Ward Christianson and Marlene Waldron, supported by other knowledgeable birders each outing.

Due to overwhelming numbers for these events registration is now required on Eventbrite. Members will be free to register and a $5.00 fee will apply to non-members (per event ticket). Note there is a limited number of tickets available.

Registration will open up to members each Wednesday prior to the event each week and the general public on the Saturday prior to the event each week.  See individual activities for additonal information.

Contact / Registration: 

Contact Rudolf Koes at rkoes@mymts.net or at 204-661-0763 to register or for more information. (Please be aware that I will be away from home from early April until 25 April).

Please note late start time:

During spring migration stretches of the Winnipeg River attract numerous waterfowl. Geese, swans, diving ducks, grebes and loons are all expected. We also hope to see a number of raptors and songbirds. The outing will start at the Seven Sisters Falls parking lot at 2 p.m. and from there we will make our way downriver. Afterwards we head for Spruce Siding Road, where we hope to see American Woodcocks and possibly owls. Winnipeg participants should meet at the Safeway parking lot at Henderson Hwy. and Chief Peguis at 12:30 p.m. in order to carpool for a 12:45 departure. We will eat somewhere en route, so bring food.
