Join us for a 3.5 hour outdoor beginner birding workshop at Carburn Park in Calgary. Binocular rentals and light snacks provided.
We will meet in the main parking lot to embark together on 3.5 hours of outdoor learning fun enjoying the spectacle of spring migration along the Bow River.  Did you know there have been 247 species of birds recorded in Carburn Park? We will identify as many as we can in this deciduous riverine habitat along the Bow River . We will be looking for returning migratory waterfowl and learning the difference between dabblers and divers. We will learn how to tell a Barrow’s Goldeneye from a Common Goldeneye and a Tundra Swan from a Trumpeter Swan. Did you know there have been 8 different species of Woodpeckers recorded in Carburn Park? We will be on the lookout for our favourite Pileated Woodpeckers and we will detect which Woodpeckers are around based on size and shape of tree cavities and other signs of Woodpeckers. We will discuss the easy way to tell the difference between Downy Woodpeckers and Hairy Woodpeckers. 
We will provide a pair of quality Nikon Binoculars and a comfy binocular harness to use on this walk, a light snack and 3 and a half hours of outdoor learning fun. We will learn the keys to becoming a better beginner birder together, including where to look for what types of birds in the tree canopy, the ethics of birding, how your birding can positively affect birds, field marks, habitat, and migratory species we may see on the forest edges , on the river and flying over head at this time of year. We will slow down together to get up close to nature and take the time to get to know the birds around us and experience the joy of birding. We will demo community science apps in the field to ID birds using sound. We will discuss how to use a field guide and how community science apps help birds.  Please dress for the weather, Carburn Park trail is fairly flat but there are a few sloped sections that may require proper footwear, even though mostly paved trails some sections might be muddy. Please bring water , there are public washrooms available at the trailhead. We are proud to be members of Indigenous Tourism Alberta.

it&#39;s a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they&#39;re gone.

Peace Bridge

小思文

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. 
[Scenery] Very beautiful
