World Waterfowl Day: Guided Duck Walk

Nature House 712 Lost Lagoon Path, Vancouver, BC, Canada

It's World Waterfowl Day and we're celebrating the resident winter waterbirds around Stanley Park! Through the winter season, tens of thousands of waterfowl spend their time on the shores of Vancouver, in what has been designated the English Bay, Burrard Inlet & Howe Sound Important Bird & Biodiversity Area (IBA). Two of the most common are the Surf Scoter and Barrow’s Goldeneye, among many other charismatic birds. Join wildlife photographer and SPE Nature House Educator Frank Lin in this walk to learn about these two fascinating sea ducks and their relatives that find their way to Stanley Park Seawall.

Stick around for our Drop-in Duck Talks later in the afternoon 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. 

Birds of a Feather: Frosty Flutters

Nature House 712 Lost Lagoon Path, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Discover the incredible variety and lives of local birds in our monthly birding program, Birds of a Feather. This month, join avid birder, wildlife photographer, and SPE Nature House Outreach Specialist Frank Lin for a relaxed interpretive outing and learn to identify and appreciate seasonal bird species. In the winter, it's the perfect time to spend a Sunday morning surrounded by flutters, calls, and squawks, with lots of winter ducks floating on the waters of Lost Lagoon. No birding experience required, just bring your curiosity and take flight!
