Spring Migration Birding Workshop

Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on our website.

Join us at Tommy Thompson park in Toronto to experience spring migration in all its glory.

Back by popular demand, our expert birdwatching guide Pedro Hernandez from Outdoor Commute will be leading his Introduction to Birdwatching Workshop.

This experience is designed for beginners and regular birders alike who are curious about the birds that share our city. Together, we’ll learn how to identify both local and migratory species, practice using binoculars, and explore field guides and apps, all while deepening our appreciation for the natural world around us.

What we might see: The end of April and into May is peak spring migration season in Ontario. Tommy Thompson Park is one of the best birding spots in the province and is located right in the city. Depending on conditions, we might encounter warblers, sparrows, thrushes, and waterfowl such as northern shovelers and gadwalls, along with year-round residents like red-tailed hawks, black-capped chickadees, and northern cardinals.

Please note that binoculars are included in the cost of the adventure and that, due to the Toronto location, transportation is not offered.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
