Birding Activities

Bird outings are held on a regular basis throughout the year, primarily in the spring/fall. They are a great way to share knowledge and meet other people interested in Manitoba birds. Note that a trip's difficulty is rated using the following Trip Rating Guidelines.

Nature Manitoba is pleased to offer a number of birding outings during the spring of 2025. These outings are meant for members, but non-members are welcome to join, with the expectation that after a few outings they will become members of Nature Manitoba. All outings are weather-permitting.

If you are a member, please contact the trip leader directly with any questions, as listed below, otherwise please contact our office.
