Have you wanted to know more about birds and the awesome natural areas in Calgary? Then this adventure is for you! Nathan, Alexa, and Joel all spend lots of time exploring and birding and are excited to lead people through the birds they love and the places in Calgary where you can find them.
You can join on one tour or multiple tours, it's up to you. Very little equipment is required. If you have an old pair of binoculars and a smartphone then you're all set. If not, you can still learn a ton and have a great time.
(Please note that the $20 minimum donation applies individually to each tour.)
Your guides will focus on how to bird in way that is respectful to the environment and the birds. June and July are two of the best months to view birds in Calgary so you'll be in for some exciting finds!
Each birding tour should take between two and three hours. All natural areas in Calgary are very accessible and the terrain is easy to navigate.
We will observe COVID-19 precautions and guidance from the Government of Alberta and expect
