Surprise Winter Outing

• We’ll target a particular area based on recent bird activity. In previous years, we’ve been lucky enough to see over-wintering raptors, Finches and Gulls. You’ll have to come to find out what this year’s surprise is.
• Don Docherty will lead.
• Meet to car pool at the old GO Station parking lot off Simcoe Street South near the Highway 401 on-ramp. Parking is available at the side farthest from the street.
• Bring water and lunch.
• Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.

Toronto’s Shore Starting from Humber Bay

• We’ll likely start at Humber Bay or Colonel Sam Smith where there is generally a good variety of ducks, geese and swans. We’ll walk the area in search of lingering winter birds and early migrants. We may also visit other parks based upon recent reports. If all is frozen then we’ll concentrate on northern gulls.
• Otto Peter and John Stirrat will lead.
• Meet to car pool at the old GO Station parking lot off Simcoe Street South near the Highway 401 on-ramp. Parking is available at the side farthest from the street.
