Winter Birding Along the Detroit River

By EllenECFNC|2020-01-01T12:22:14-05:00December 30th, 2019|Hike/Trip|

Meet at 9 a.m. at Lakeview Park Marina, 9200 Riverside Drive East, Windsor.

Leaders: Kory Renaud and Jeremy Hatt.

This event is held in partnership with Ontario Field Ornithologists.

Winter is an excellent time of year to observe waterfowl, gulls and birds of prey using the open water of the Detroit River. We will start the day at the marina, make a visit to Little River Corridor, continue down river to check a few spots and end at Ojibway Park.

Be sure to dress for the weather, pack some snacks and bring a scope if you have one. Due to the duration of the outing (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), we will make a brief stop for lunch along the way.
