SUMMARY:VANCOUVER
DESCRIPTION:Birding Survey at UBC Farm \nJoin us for a birding survey at UBC Farm with Nature Mentors from Nature Vancouver. Over 100 species of birds have been seen at this site during monthly surveys. On this bird focused Explorer Day\, we’ll be looking for wintering birds. You may want to become familiar with some of these before our tour\, such as the Northern Flicker\, Black-capped Chickadee\, Song Sparrow\, Dark-eyed Junco\, Spotted Towhee\, and American Goldfinch. Our approximately 1.5 km walk will take us through farm fields\, the children’s garden area\, a mature second growth conifer forest\, and a young alder forest. \nWe’ll meet at 9 AM at the main gate to the UBC Farm\, located on South Campus\, at 3461 Ross Drive. If you are taking the bus\, consult Translink for directions from your home. The farm gate is locked so please be punctual\, as we will all need to enter together. \nBring binoculars if you have them. We will have some to share. Also\, there will be a spotting scope (a small portable high-power telescope) set up at low height to accommodate our kids. Remember to dress for the weather as bird watching often involves some standing around. \nRSVP here.
