If you’re interested in birding by moonlight, you should think about volunteering for the Makinak Woods Nocturnal Owl Survey.
On Wednesday volunteers will identify and record birds along hiking and driving routes from 8 to 10 in the evening.
Marika Olynyk the engagement coordinator with the Manitoba branch talks about the two ways volunteers will count owls.
“We’re going to be driving along roads and stopping every mile. And then for those who want to get a bit more active we’re also going to be doing some hikes through the Makinak woods property. The plan is to just listen to owls along the way.”
To volunteer for this survey call the Manitoba branch at 1-866-683-6934.
It’s recommended to wear warm clothing and proper shoes or boots as volunteers will walk through fields.
This event is weather dependent.
