Field Trips: Winter Birdwatching at High Park

Bundle up and join RCIScience for our first Field Trip of 2025 - a leisurely winter birdwatching walk, where we'll try to spot those feathered friends braving Toronto’s cold while connecting with nature and each other. No passport required for these staycation birds!

Birding walk led by evolutionary biologist and avid bird lover, Dr. Talia Lowi-Merri. Please bring binoculars if you have them - spares will not be available but you may purchase a pair from us to take home in the "Add-On" section when reserving tickets.

RCIScience will be filming and photographing this event. By attending, you consent to the use of your image and likeness being used in promotional materials.

Please let us know if you do not wish to be photographed or filmed.

Wear comfortable footwear and dress appropriately for the weather and terrain. The walking pace will be gentle and there will be extended periods of standing.

This is a rain or shine event. In the event of severe weather, e.g. thunderstorms, we will make an informed decision on the day and notify attendees as soon as possible via the email they register with.

Please refer to your event reminder email (keep an eye on your inbox!) from [email protected] for more information on where to find us on the day of the event.

If you are feeling unwell on the day of the event or have had a recent exposure to COVID-19, please cancel your ticket on Eventbrite or contact us so that it may be allocated to the waitlist.

Dr. Talia Lowi-Merri (she/her) is an evolutionary biologist and bird researcher. She recently completed her PhD at the Royal Ontario Museum and University of Toronto, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the New York Institute of Technology.
