Feathered Beginnings
Join Talaysay Tours for a gentle birding walk at Burnaby Lake, where nesting season, ecological learning, and cultural perspectives come together in celebration of new life on the land and water.
Feathered Beginnings is a guided birding walk that celebrates nesting season, baby birds, and the many flying relatives who make their homes around Burnaby Lake.
Led by Talaysay Tours’ Cultural Land Ambassadors and ornithologists, this experience invites guests to explore the shoreline, wetlands, and forest edges with curiosity, care, and respect.
Together, we will slow down, observe seasonal bird behaviour, and learn through both ecological and culturally grounded perspectives.
