Raptors and a host of other birds migrate north along the Red River and Pembina River valleys in early spring. Come join the birders who monitor this migration. They will be present from mid-morning at either site on most days from mid-March to mid-April, especially when it is sunny with a south wind. The St. Adolphe site is on the east side of the bridge on PR. 210. The Windygates site is on PR. 201 at the Pembina River Valley.
Watches are not scheduled, so there is no need to register. Come and go as you please.

Location: Camp Amisk, 4394 Waverley St (across from La Barrière Park, not in the park).

Time: Meet in the parking lot at 10:45 PM, departing at 11:00 AM. The parking lot is located just south of the La Salle River bridge on the east side of Waverley, half-way up the hill.

Description: We will hike along the Camp Amisk trail beside the La Salle River for approximately 2 hours at a leisurely pace. There are a few hills, but it is generally a gentle hike. The trail may be muddy, slippery, or icy, but we will be intrepid and prepared with appropriate footwear and attire and forge ahead. The challenge will likely be determined by the current weather conditions which, as we are keenly aware, are highly variable!

Toilets: There are toilets in the park across the road to access prior to parking.

Lunch: Location at a restaurant to be determined.

Bring: Water, your name tag, and if desired, hiking poles and a snack.
