Scanlon Creek Bird Banding Workshop Back by popular demand, three bird banding workshops will take place in February at the Nature Centre, Scanlon Creek Conservation Area (2450 Line 9, Bradford West Gwillimbury) with Nigel Shaw, renowned nature artist and expert bird bander. The dates are Sunday, February 5; Sunday, February 12 and Monday, February 20 all starting at 8:00 a.m. until noon. Nigel will begin the workshop indoors at the Nature Centre with a power point presentation and following will be a discussion period. At 9:00 a.m., the group will go outdoors and watch Nigel retrieve the birds for banding. If the weather is too cold, Nigel can do the bird banding indoors. The birds that will be banding in this series are the small winter feeder birds: chickadees, winter finches, maybe some woodpeckers. After the bird banding, Nigel will lead the group on a walk-about around Scanlon Creek. The cost is $15.00 per person and $50.00 for a family of four. To register, please call Judy at ext. 241. All fees must be paid in advance. For additional information on the workshops, please call Brenda at ext. 263. |
