Winter Bird Watching Weekend

Friday, February 16 to Sunday, February 18th, 2024
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Wolfe Island is a renowned location for bird watching, with over 200 species of birds living or stopping along during their migrations, and an avid community of bird watching enthusiasts! Winter is a special time for birding here, with the Snowy Owl (photo above by Sus Bowers) being the star of the show.

The Hotel Wolfe Island would like to invite you to join us for a relaxing winter weekend enjoying nature, good company, and great food!

Tickets include two dinners served in our Piano Room as a private group, two continental breakfasts, one lunch, guest speaker on Ethical Bird Watching, and two guided bird watching tours of 2 hours each, led by Marjorie Bousfield (a biologist, gardening expert, and local writer living here in Marysville).
