Birding Golf Cart Tours
October 14, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
$40
Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park contains some of the last remaining foothills fescue grassland as well as a scattered mosaic of wetlands and wooded areas. This diverse habitat provides home to a wide variety of bird species. Unfortunately, many of the best birding locations require walking long distances to reach. For birders to experience the best of Glenbow Ranch, we are offering golf cart tours where we will travel about 20 km to visit the most productive areas. Over three and a half hours, we expect to find a wide variety of migrating birds such as warblers, sparrows and raptors. Late September also boasts stunning fall colors and possibly some early waterfowl migration.
Join park Vegetation Management Lead Blake Weis and Steward Annie Finch to cover about 20 km on golf cart over three and a half hours. We expect to find a wide variety of migrating birds such as raptors and waterfowl while enjoying stunning fall colors and mountain views.
Dress for all weather as it can be cold in the morning but very hot by the middle of the day. Most of the park is open grassland and is very exposed to the elements. Recommended items to bring include a jacket, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water, snacks, and of course binoculars.
Price is $30 for Nature Calgary members and $40 for non-members.
