IN-PERSON PROGRAM
The waters of Stanley Park are alive with quacks, chirps, feather preening, and an occasional ruffled feather. Curious about this cold but bird-filled season? Join us for our monthly birding program, Birds of a Feather! This month, Kris Cu takes us on a relaxed, interpretive outing to explore seasonal and year-round feathered residents in the skies and seas. No birding knowledge or experience necessary, just bring your curiosity and enjoy nature with each other!
LEADER BIO
Kris Cu grew up in the bustling city of Manila, the Philippines and loved watching the Pied Fantails forage around his neighbour’s garden. Upon moving to Canada, Kris completed a Biological Sciences degree from Simon Fraser University and is now the Digital Media & Outreach Specialist for Birds Canada. In his spare time, Kris is also a wildlife photographer, birding guide and overall nature enthusiast!

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”.
