Join us alongside inspirational birdwatching guide Pedro Hernandez from Outdoor Commute for an Introduction to Birdwatching Workshop at Toronto’s unique urban wilderness, Tommy Thompson Park (The Leslie Spit).
This slow-paced walk is designed for beginners and anyone 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.
October is peak fall migration season, and Tommy Thompson Park is one of the best birding spots 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.
