Forestry Farm Park Bird Walk – birding in Saskatoon’s best wooded park
A guided two-hour bird walk in Saskatoon’s Forestry Farm Park, exploring mature trees and nearby water for songbirds, waterfowl and seasonal migrants.
About this tour
Explore the wooded trails of Forestry Farm Park on a private guided bird walk suitable for both newer and experienced birders. The park lies beside Saskatoon Zoo and combines mature trees with nearby water, creating varied habitat for woodland songbirds, ducks and geese.
Spring and summer can bring Merlin, Spotted Sandpiper, Downy Woodpecker, Eastern Kingbird, Warbling Vireo, House Wren, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, sparrows, Yellow Warbler and Common Yellowthroat. Migration periods may add other warblers. The guide helps participants recognise useful field marks, and binoculars may be available to borrow on request.
The walk is on level ground and normally lasts two hours. Exact timing, route and sightings depend on the selected date, weather and current bird activity; no species is guaranteed.
