Birdwatching

Environment Conservation Focus will undertake a media awareness raising campaign, birdwatching trips and education events on the occasion of World Migratory Bird Day.

Educational event organized in cooperation with NGO-s, involved in nature protection in Croatia. Several workshops, lectures as well as entertainment activities will be organized. The theme of this years WMBD will be respected and sustainable land use will be the main topic of the event.

Le Regroupement QuébecOiseaux profite de son 30e anniversaire pour instaurer une nouvelle activité d’observation d’envergure nationale. L’activité suggérée visera, entre autres, à observer le plus grand nombre d’espèces d’oiseaux à un même endroit, et ce, en 24 heures. C’est une formule qui est déjà en vogue aux États-Unis et ailleurs et qui est relativement simple à organiser. Au Québec, ce type d’activité d’observation ne s’est jamais réellement tenu. Voilà une belle occasion de mobiliser les amateurs d’ornithologie autour d’une nouvelle activité!

A series of public talks on the migration of birds and a bird photography print exhibition will take place on 14th and 15th May 2011. (venue will be finalized and updated in the website link below)

Proposed talks on
• Bird / nature watching as a past time;
• Approaches to bird photography - Techniques & tactics;
• Bird migration & changes in land use;
• Other topics related to bird watching & photography.

NGOs, students and QMM employees will observe aquatic birds during 2 days. The morning session of the event runs from 5h00hrs until 9h00hrs with birdwatching activities and will be followed by sensitisation about the 2011 theme.
In 2010, within the 2 days we observed around 300 aquatic birds. QMM supports this educational programm since 2002 and this year will be the 10th anniversary of our birdwatching event in collaboration with Asity Madagascar.

We will teach courses relating to the conservation of birds in our province for field trips, currently taking place. We will conduct awareness raising talks throughout the year. Additionally, we will offer a trip to Lagunas de los Pozuelos (Ramsar Site) to observe migratory plovers coming from the North Pole.

This free, informal walk is open to the general public of all ages. Recreational birders familiar with Lake Park volunteer to lead people of all skill levels to the best birding spots in the park. Beginning birders are especially welcome. Camaraderie and discussion of diverse environmental issues are encouraged. From bridges over ravines birders can look down on thrushes, sparrows,and warblers. Red-headed Woodpeckers and Eastern Bluebirds occasionally visit the woodland edges. Sandpipers, gulls and ducks migrate along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
