Location: 

Format: Online on Zoom

  • Instructor: Chris Earley
  • Dates: Mondays and Wednesdays, January 20, 22, 27, 29, February 3, 5, 10, and 12, 2025
  • Fee: $70.00 + H.S.T. All eight programs cost of $70 (plus tax) - that's less than $10 per program! 

While sitting on the dock, have you ever asked "Did that loon just attack that duck?" or "How can that Pileated Woodpecker peck such big holes without hurting its brain?" or "Which hawk is that flying overhead?" The answers to these and many other bird-related questions will be covered in this series of eight one-hour sessions on the birds you notice while visiting a cottage, hiking in a northern park or tenting at your favourite campsite. We will cover identification clues, behaviour, nesting info, habitat, foraging techniques and more. Cottage projects and activities that help birds will also be a part of each session as well as a 10-15 minute discussion period for bird-related questions.

This event will take place on Zoom. If you miss any of the programs, each one is recorded and the recording will be sent to you the next day.  The recordings will be available for one month after the last program.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years.  It was home to Indigenous peoples before settlers arrived. We recognize the Dish with One Spoon territory, the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 lands on which the University of Guelph and The Arboretum now sit. We are honoured to work on and care for this land.
