Join Nature Guelph Bird Wing for a day of finding shorebirds within the Wellington/Waterloo area. With the fall migration underway, we will visit a few spots where shorebirds are likely to be encountered locally. This volunteer-led outing will be a follow-up for our September speaker session (Sept 4 - Southbound Shorebirds with Jean Iron).
Potential locations may include:
- Guelph Lake
- Belwood Lake & vicinity
- Wilson’s Flats
- Floradale
Actual locations visited and route will be decided closer to the day based on recent sightings.
