 Dorion's Canyon Country Birding Festival The Dorion Birding FestivalLovGREAT BIRDS! GREAT PEOPLE! GREAT FOOD! Dorion's Canyon
Country Birding Festival is for you!
We
had our inaugural year in 2009, and it was a great
success. Organizers felt that with an area so rich in bird species and natural beauty, birders would welcome the chance to attend a Birding Festival here. Local residents have a long history of bird watching, and for the past few years, area residents have placed second in Ontario for recorded checklists in the Great Backyard Bird Count. The 2011 Festival was great! We had increased attendance, 23 warbler species, and although it rained on the first day, spirits were not dampened and 108 species were recorded!  The
2012 Festival will be introducing a NEW option for birders.
Those who are "up with the birds" ,
will have a chance to say good morning to them! We are
offering
these early birds a hike at Hurkett Cove Conservation Area at 6 a.m. on
Saturday, May 26th prior to the official opening
of the Festival.
A guide (or guides), will be at the Cove to lead a hike.
Anyone wanting to do this, is responsible for their own
transportation, and will be asked to return to the Dorion Community
Centre by 8 a.m. for Registration and a delicious breakfast.
There, they will join the rest of the birders for an official
introduction and start to the day. ... |
