Bird Walk at RK McMillan Park in Mississauga
April 18 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Join Ontario Nature at RK McMillan Park on Sat April 18, 2026, from 9 am to 11 am for a guided birding walk! We will wander the park looking for early spring migrating birds in the woodlands and red-necked grebes, long-tailed ducks, buffleheads, and other waterbirds out on the lake, while learning about bird identification, conservation, and community science projects. All are welcome to attend, no birding experience necessary! This park is easily accessible with free parking, nearby bus stops, public washrooms, and a relatively flat and even trail system.
Ontario Nature’s Conservation Science Coordinator, Sarah Mueller, will lead the bird walk and will share how to keep and submit a checklist to record bird observations on the community science platforms eBird and Nature Counts. These initiatives allow members of the public to contribute vital data on bird populations, distribution, and trends across Ontario. Attendees will take home a bird identification pocket guide, and we will raffle off one copy of the second Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas.
