Canada – Saskatchewan Autumn Birding Grand Tour: September 9 – 18, 2026
A ten-day Saskatchewan migration tour combining Saskatoon-area wetlands and parks with Prince Albert National Park and Last Mountain Lake.
About this tour
Timed for peak autumn migration, this ten-day Saskatchewan tour brings eastern and western North American bird communities into one itinerary. Wetlands support waterfowl, grebes, pelicans, shorebirds and rails, while woodland and prairie stops add raptors, woodpeckers and migrating songbirds.
The published sequence begins around Saskatoon and Blackstrap Lake, devotes two days to Prince Albert National Park, visits Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary and returns to a varied set of Saskatoon-area parks and migration sites. The programme is mostly vehicle-based, with generally short and fairly level walks.
The scheduled departure runs September 9-18, 2026. The displayed starting rate is CAD 3,650 per vehicle for one to three guests; accommodation, meals, park entry and the exact guide-transport arrangement are confirmed separately through BirdWatch.info.
