You are all invited to the Red Deer River Naturalists Bird Focus Group Field Trip

Location: Crimson Lake Provincial Park – Amerada trail follows the lake perimeter for about 11 km. Bring your own lunch for a break at about the mid-point, and plan for about 4 hours of walking.

Meet: At the main parking lot

When: June 14, 2026 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Host: Chris Olsen

All are welcome, you do not have to be a RDRN member to attend. We’re an inclusive group that learns from each other, and birders of all skill levels are welcome!

Bring your binoculars,* camera/phone, bug spray, bear spray and sunscreen. Wear sturdy hiking footwear. Some trails are on rough terrain. Carry water and an energy snack. Wear layers and carry rain gear and a hat as required by conditions. Let Chris know if you have any potential medical issues. RDRN has purchased a spotting scope and tripod. This will be a real asset for long distance observations.

*RDRN have two birding binoculars that can be borrowed (first come, first served) by new participants. Binoculars courtesy of a City of Red Deer Community Better ParticipACTION grant.
