HOUSTON- Duck Pond Bird Walk and Pinecone Bird Feeder Explorer Day

 Friday May 22nd from 5pm to 7pm.
   Meet at the parking lot of Houston Secondary School near the Duck Pond entrance. We will start by making pinecone bird feeders, then walk around the duck pond to look and listen for local birds.
   This event is part of the Annual Bird Bioblitz 2026, and we will be recording our sightings and submitting them to iNaturalist.
   Please dress for the weather and bring binoculars if you have them (some will be provided).
   This is a family event, and children must be accompanied by an adult.

Explorer Day Etiquette:

Be prepared to HAVE FUN

Pre-registration with your Club Leader is required for most Explorer Days (Friends are welcome if space permits).

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for passport stamping and organization. Starting times are firm, and Leaders cannot wait for late-comers!

Please stay with the Leader and let them know if you are leaving early.

Children must always be accompanied by an adult guardian, who is responsible for their behaviour. Children consistently disrupting the experience of others may be asked to leave.

Bring appropriate weather gear, sunscreen, snacks, water, and other useful tools like binoculars, sketch books, cameras, and magnifying glasses.
