Lambton Wildlife Inc at Sarnia’s Hobbyfest

Blog2016, Hobbyfest, Sarnia, summer

The Sarnia Hobbyfest was held on July 17, 2016 at Centennial Park. The Lambton Wildlife booth was one of about forty on display. Temperature wise, is was cool to start the day and gradually warmed up to short sleeve weather. The wind was the biggest issue as strong gusts were coming from Sarnia Bay. Our canopy was anchored with sand bags, but at times it needed a human anchor to keep it from being relocated several metres east! The crowd did not appear to be very large, but that could have been due to the large area covered by the…

Although these places are brilliant for birding, you do not have to travel so far to see the wonders of spring migration. In fact, you don't even have to leave the city. Canatara Park is a terrific spot to watch birds. (more…)
