The PAFN is fortunate to have many avid “birders” in our group! We host various “bird-centered” events throughout the year, from our Owl Prowl in early spring to the Christmas Bird Count in December.
If you are new to the birding “addiction”, the PAFN Facebook page is a great place to learn about identification, or have your photos reviewed by our Group Experts. Post your photos on the PAFN Facebook page to showcase your Renfrew County finds, or to get help on that difficult ID!
