Location: VanDusen Guides Classroom | 5151 Oak St, Vancouver, BC, V6M 4H1

Description:

Long-time VanDusen birding guide Jeremy Gordon is back on-site with this seasonal favourite! During this introductory level class, he will discuss the best birding resources, such as binoculars and field guides, share tips on identifying local & migratory birds, and highlight hot birding spots around Vancouver. Following a one-hour classroom presentation, Jeremy will take you for a walk to look for some of the 106 species of birds in the Garden.

The class is designed for aspiring and beginner bird watchers to help build a foundation of knowledge and gain confidence to get out and go birding this spring.

Instructor's Bio

Jeremy Gordon arrived in Vancouver over 30 years ago, after a series of events that included riding on top of a bus in Mexico, a bankrupt airline and a car engine blowing up. That summer, he accidentally got a job as a waiter in the then-Sprinklers restaurant and got to know the Gardens well. Having been recently introduced to birding (following a soccer injury), he combined these two passions and has led bird walks here ever since. 

Online pre-registration is required.
