Come Birding With Us for the Great Canadian Birdathon
You’re invited to join some of Bird Studies Canada’s experts in Vancouver, BC; Toronto, ON; or Moncton, NB for a fun day of birding for conservation!

Whether you are new to birding or an experienced Birdathoner, and whatever your age, we would love for you to join us in person for a bird walk near you.
Kids Go Wild for the Schoolyard Bird Blitz!
Bird Studies Canada invites your students to explore the diversity of birds in your neighbourhood by participating in the Schoolyard Bird Blitz this spring!

Invest in the Future – Take a Kid Birding!
My husband and I have always been interested in the birds around us, but it was our son who made a difference in our birding behaviour. To earn a Cub Scout badge, he built a birdfeeder and observed and recorded all activity at it for a month. Since he showed such a keen interest, we encouraged his birdwatching and participated with him.
Celebrate Birds in Toronto and Beyond
Each year during bird migration, Toronto becomes a mega bird-highway much busier, healthier, and more colourful than the 401. Join us in celebrating birds in the city at the Toronto Bird Celebration from May 11-25, 2019 and other springtime events across Canada.
