Educational Activity

Lots going on this weekend. We will be doing a bird walk on Duck Island at Warriors' Path State Park, Saturday, April 13th at 8:00 AM. There will be a short presentation at 7:30 in the rec building. Followed by the bird walk at 8 AM. We expect to see lots of species highlighted by a soaring Osprey, Yellow-throated Warbler, and a Yellow-throated Vireo. Come on out.

Visit a beach in the Midwest and you will see shorebirds. Did you know that many of the birds at the beach are leaving to fly 12500 km to the northern Arctic? Learn about migratory shorebirds; why they come and why they go.  Help create a picture board about looking after these amazing birds at the beach. Bring in snaps of litter collected at the beach to add to the board. Choose and colour your favourite shorebird to take home. This is a free event by Birdlife Midwest-Geraldton at the Geraldton Library. All ages. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
