Field Trips
Field trips are open to non-members as well as members. Feel free to phone or e-mail the field trip leader or contact person ahead of time to obtain further information, directions or restrictions (e.g. dogs are not normally allowed on field trips). Registration is usually required to help manage group sizes and everyone will be asked to sign a waiver.
Ideas and suggestions for future trips are welcome. You do not need to be an expert to lead a field trip, and the trip does not need to last all day. You just need to share your favourite birding spots. Any questions, comments or suggestions, as well as all field trip reports should be directed to the Events Editor, Angie Millard. Email: fieldtripcoordinator@nsbirdsociety.ca
Member Meetings

The pace and content of this and all of our birding walks favours new and inexperienced birdwatchers. Experienced birders are also very welcome especially those willing to share their knowledge and skills. On this outing, we will walk the Spry Bay Trail and Headland Trail. It is a good opportunity to see and photograph migrating shorebirds including Yellowlegs, Whimbrels, and other foraging travelers. We also expect to see migrating fall warblers as well as a variety of our year-round, resident species. You will encounter rugged terrain on this 5-hour walk, so wear hiking boots or other sturdy footwear. Bring lunch, water, and binoculars.
