Whether you are a new or experienced birder, join the Everett Crowley Park Committee to help contribute to vital citizen-science by engaging in bird point-counts in Everett Crowley Park. Everett Crowley Park is a hotspot for birders in Metro Vancouver and it is home to 120 species of birds including both migratory and resident species. This is a great opportunity to learn about birds, develop environmental fieldwork skills, and to contribute to long term data in Everett Crowley Park. Data collected will be used to inform future environmental restoration efforts and infrastructure.
This event is part of regular bird programming facilitated by ECPC’s Bird Team. Take a look at the Everett Crowley Park Committee’s other events to sign up for more birding opportunities.
Please pre register for this event. This event is focused at participants 16+ years old. We will meet at the Kerr Street Parking lot and conduct surveying from four sites within the park.
No previous bird watching experience required, all instructions and supplies provided. Hot drinks will be served, personal binoculars and mugs are encouraged.
Please contact ecpcstewards@gmail.com with any questions or to cancel your registration.
Please note, there will be filming taking place at this event to help document the impact of our community events.
