When: Friday\, April 3\, 2026\, 8:30 am – 1:00 pmBad Weather Day – Saturday\, April 4\, 2026 Leader: Stewart MacDonaldEmail: stejmacdonald@aol.com 								\n				\n									Description: Long Point Provincial Park is the 4th oldest Provincial Park in Ontario\, established in 1921. It has been designated as a World Biosphere Reserve. It is also one of the largest Waterfowl Staging areas in North America. Please join Stewart MacDonald\, who has birded Long Point for over 30 years\, in this outing. It is possible to see over 20 Species of Waterfowl\, including the possibility of seeing the hard to find Eurasian Wigeon\, as well as Raptors\, Shorebirds\, Wading Birds\, Gulls\, Terns and Sandhill Cranes. In 2025\, we spotted 23 species of Waterfowl! We will also search for early Songbird arrivals\, which could include Rusty Blackbird\, Brown Thrasher\, Hermit Thrush\, Eastern Phoebe and Sparrow Species. The weather at this time of year in Long Point is unpredictable. There will be a Bad Weather Day on Saturday April 4th\, if in Stewart’s judgement\, the conditions are too harsh too have a reasonable day of birding. The excursion will begin at the Birds Canada Office in Port Rowan\, where washroom facilities are available. There is also a washroom at Old Cut Observatory. Looking forward to seeing you then!								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n									What to bring: Participants should dress warmly (in water resistant gear if it rains)\, and wear good walking shoes. Don’t forget to bring your binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. Stewart will provide a spotting scope as well. Please register directly with Stewart.
