This morning outing follows the well-maintained loop at Marble Woodlands as we search for later-season migrants such as Yellow-rumped Warbler and White-throated and White-crowned sparrows, along with thrushes and year-round residents like nuthatches, chickadees, brown creepers and woodpeckers. Ramsey and Ken will offer guidance to new birders on spotting and listening for birds.
This event is FREE, but registration is limited to 30 participants to ensure everyone has a good view – secure your spot now at mmlt.ca/events. If you’ve registered but can no longer attend, please let us know (admin@mmlt.ca) so we can offer your spot to someone else.
