DROP-IN PROGRAM
Join our World Waterfowl Day celebration with our drop-in Duck Talks at the Nature House! If you’ve visited the waters of Stanley Park this winter, you’ve likely noticed the hundreds (and sometimes thousands!) of charming waterfowl that have taken up residence for the cold season. Swing by the Nature House at 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 pm for a drop-in duck presentation all about these diverse winter birds.
This program, hosted by experienced birder, photographer, and SPE Nature House Outreach Specialist Frank Lin, explores the varied species you might encounter along the seawall and throughout the Park, including dabbling ducks, diving ducks, mergansers, and goldeneyes.
Duck Talk Presentation Times:
– 1:00 – 1:30 pm
– 2:00 – 2:30 pm
– 3:00 – 3:30 pm

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”.
