Please join Nature Guelph for a presentation on the Winter Finch Forecast with Tyler Hoar Freelance Ornithologist/Consultant and Winter Finch Forecaster! In 2020 Tyler took over as the Winter Finch Forecaster, from Ron Pittaway who retired after 20 years of providing us a window into what may come each winter. Tyler is passionate about finches and is enjoying the process of creating the winter finch forecast. Some of Tyler’s early childhood memories were of flocks of Evening Grosbeaks visiting the family home each winter. His favourite finches are Evening Grosbeak, Hawfinch, Pallas’s Rosefinch, and White-winged Crossbill.
Our monthly Bird Wing meeting will precede the presentation and include bird-related news, Wellington Notable Bird sightings, and an update from the regional coordinator for the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas for Region 47 Wellington. Send any notable birds to birdwing@slategray-goat-873595.hostingersite.com
The event will be held at Wild Birds Unlimited Guelph (987 Gordon St, Guelph, ON). We request that everyone wear a mask to this event. Everyone is welcome! If you have any event-related questions, email us at birdwing@slategray-goat-873595.hostingersite.com.
