Birdwatching at Creekside Patio

May 12, 2036

Join us for a guided bird walk through the Creekside wetlands just steps from the shopping centre. Taking place on Tuesday, May 12 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, this special event offers a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and experience one of the most active times of year for local wildlife.

May marks the peak of spring migration, when a wide variety of songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl pass through or return to the area. With the wetlands located just north of Creekside Shopping Centre, this spot provides a unique opportunity to observe wildlife in an accessible, community-oriented setting.

The walk will be led by Nature Calgary, a volunteer-run organization dedicated to conservation, education, and fostering appreciation for the natural world. Your guide for the morning, Bernie Diebolt, brings familiarity with the area and will help participants spot and identify birds and other wildlife along the route.

The experience will begin and end at the Creekside Community Patio, conveniently located between Joso’s Play & Learn Centre and Chatters Hair Salon. From there, participants will set out on a relaxed 90-minute walk through the wetlands, suitable for all experience levels.

Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or simply looking to enjoy a spring morning outdoors, this is a great opportunity to explore a growing natural space within the community.

Advance registration is required to secure your spot.
