BIG Birding Breakfast

Please join the Beaverhill Bird Observatory staff, executive, and volunteers for our annual crepe breakfast. Banding begins at 4:30 a.m. and breakfast begins being served soon after.

Crepes made by our famous Hungarian bird banding volunteer Janos Kovacs will be served along with bacon, fruit, coffee, tea, and juice.

Walk the net lanes with staff to see what birds we are capturing and observe bird banding up close. A short talk will be given outlining the history of the BBO, and what programs we are involved in. Cost is $10 per person.

Please register by contacting Lisa Priestley at or phone 780-918-4804.
