May Birding Walk in Toronto’s High Park: World Migratory Bird Day

High Park is one of Toronto's best spots for nature lovers, and this May, the High Park Nature Centre is hosting a special birding walk to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. Whether you're a seasoned birder or just curious about the feathered friends in your neighbourhood, this is a great way to get outside and learn something new.

What to Expect This casual, beginner-friendly hike will focus on spotting and listening for birds migrating through Toronto. The Nature Centre will have binoculars available to borrow, so you don't need to worry if you don't have your own gear. Plus, you'll be contributing to community science by submitting your observations to eBird, the world's largest database for bird sightings.

Why It Matters World Migratory Bird Day highlights the importance of community science in conservation. By participating, you're helping researchers track bird populations and understand the impact of migration. It's a simple, rewarding way to connect with nature and support local conservation efforts right in the heart of the city.
