Every day of the year is a good day for observing birds in your garden, from the snowy depths of winter to the height of summer bloom. Learn about common nesting, wintering, and migratory birds in the Greater Toronto Area, and how to attract, feed and observe them throughout the seasons!
There are so many birds to discover in your neighbourhood. The Pickering Naturalists will be helping you attract birds to your backyard by showing you what they do and also how to identify common birds.
Join Aranya Iyer (she/her) as she explores loneliness, connection, and kinship in this reflection and Q+A session.
Spend the day with fellow young birders trying to see how many birds you can find at Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto.
Join us for a fascinating look at many local Toronto birds, seen during two years of pandemic walking throughout the community of Willowdale.
I hope to explore and share my own birding experiences in the outdoors and what they have taught me about loneliness, connection, and kinship. The seemingly simple act of birding has left me joyful and in awe of the world. It has also made me deeply uncomfortable about the questions it brings up about disconnection and inaccessibility.
Join Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon for this virtual Bhangra dance lesson to welcome the return of spring and migratory birds after a long winter season. This free event is suitable for people of all ages and can be done standing or seated.
Join Jane Spero (Conservation Breeding Coordinator for the Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program) to learn all about this amazing and unique predatory songbird and why we want to see it thriving again on our landscapes!
This presentation will discuss the creation of Female Bird Day (May 29th & 30th), why female birds are important, how we can change our birding and research practices.
Listen to the sounds of spring! Join us for an interactive presentation about how birds communicate. Enjoy interesting bird songs, calls and more, and learn some tips to remember them!
Helping the environment starts in your own backyard. Learn how to attract and protect native pollinators, such as Monarch butterflies and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds with beautiful landscape features.
With their colours and songs come much-needed release and relief. Birds are everywhere and connect you to nature, your family and a community. During May, 50 million birds will dazzle the city with colour, music and hope. We will bring your friends and family online events, webinars and online courses. Events and activities are mostly free and open to all. Register soon!
