Bird Walks

CCFEW organizes a series of monthly bird walks September through June at Toronto waterfront parks, including 7 walks at the Spring Bird Festival. Colonel Sam Smith Park is the primary location for Spring and Fall walks and Humber Bay Park is the usual location for winter walks.  The walks are lead by experienced birders and are free for anyone who is interested in attending.  Everyone is welcome!  All walks are on weekends.

Our walks are sponsored by:

The ongoing sponsor of our bird walks is Birds & Beans, a Mimico roaster and retailer of “Bird Friendly ®” coffee.  Most people don’t give it much thought, but the way coffee is grown can have a huge impact on the ecosystems of the producing countries, and the quality of life of their citizens.  You can learn more from the Birds & Beans website, or by doing a search on “shade grown coffee”.
