Dundas Valley Guided Bird Hikes

Join us in search of birds and other wildlife in the stunning Carolinian forests of the Dundas Valley. On this slow paced 3 hour hike, we will search for breeding birds and the many migrant birds that pass through the Valley every spring. Learn about bird identification, bird songs, behaviour and all about where the birds are coming from and where they are going.

The hikes will be led by our resident bird expert James Lees, who has been working in bird conservation for over 24 years. James works for HCA and is based in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, everyone will take something away from this guided hike.
