What do you enjoy the most about the GBBC?
Discovering just how many different species of birds we can see right from our own backyard. It made me realize that we don’t always have to travel to faraway places to experience amazing bird diversity.
Do you have a favorite GBBC moment?
One of my favourite GBBC memories is from a couple of years ago, when I decided to make a special fruit platter for the birds visiting our backyard! I put together a spread of different fruits, hoping to attract as many different bird species as possible during the GBBC days. I remember being so excited about the possibility of seeing which birds would come to sample my little buffet! It was my own fun experiment to see if I could bring more feathered visitors into our backyard.
Who do you enjoy birding with?
My mom who is an expert spotter because she grew up on a farm.
Do you have a favorite place you like to go birding?
On the canal next to my home.
Do you have a spark bird or spark moment?
