This is the best opportunity to spend some time down on the Tofino mudflats to view flocks of shorebirds foraging and resting during their annual migration north.
In this weekend field course, participants will be introduced to the general ecology and biology of birds with an emphasis on the species commonly found in and around Clayoquot Sound.
The shorebirds are starting to arrive on the Tofino Mudflats to fuel up for their journey north. In preparation for the feeding frenzy, team mudflats will be cleaning up plastic pollution from the mudflats shoreline.
