IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Halloween is almost upon us, and that means it’s migratory bird season! Thousands of birds are flying here from their summer breeding grounds to take advantage of mild winter conditions and nutrient rich shorelines. Discover the incredible variety and lives of local birds in this autumnal edition of our monthly birding program, Birds of a Feather! This month, celebrate the spooky season with local birder Syd for a relaxed interpretive outing. No experience required, and feel free to get into the “Trick or Tweet” spirit by wearing your Halloween costume!
LEADER BIO
Syd is the founder behind Vancouver Queer Birders and a lifelong fan of noticing things. For her, birding is about finding and sharing in tiny moments of joy, community, and awe amid an often very heavy world. Midway through her Master’s Degree in Community, her work focuses on radical, community-centred approaches to the climate crisis. If she’s not actively birding, you can find her drawing birds, quilting birds, reading about birds, and overall really needing to expand her circle of interests.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
