Bird Walks

CCFEW organizes a series of 10 bird walks through the year at Toronto waterfront parks. Colonel Sam Smith Park will be the primary location for our walks until construction is complete at Humber Bay Park.  The walks are lead by experienced birders and are free for anyone who is interested in attending.  Everyone is welcome!  All walks are on weekends. 

Future Bird Walk Dates:

The Spring Bird Festival at Colonel Samuel Smith Park on Saturday, May 27th will feature hourly Bird Walks as well as (new this year) Family Bird Walks on the half hour.

Bird Walks at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 & 1:00

Family Bird Walks at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30

The ongoing sponsor of our bird walks is Birds & Beans, a Mimico roaster and retailer of “Bird Friendly ®” coffee.  Most people don’t give it much thought, but the way coffee is grown can have a huge impact on the ecosystems of the producing countries, and the quality of life of their citizens.  You can learn more from the Birds & Beans website, or by doing a search on “shade grown coffee”.
