About this Event
From November to April, we participate in FeederWatch, a participatory science project. You can help us identify and count the birds seen in Mount Royal Park, helping researchers track their abundance and distribution.
The training includes an indoor presentation, followed by a short outdoor demonstration.
After you’ve followed the training session, you can come back to collect data at our birdfeeders on Fridays or Saturdays, whenever it is most convenient for you.
