About this event
This 1.5-hour session focuses on shorebirds, binocular basics and identification features. Meet at the tennis-court picnic tables behind Port Moody Recreation Complex, by the Civic Centre south parking lot, then walk to the new boardwalk to observe shorebirds and other migratory species on the mudflats using a spotting scope.
