Young Naturalists' Chickadee Pishing Pishing is the time-honoured technique of attracting birds for a closer look. The chickadees at Pike Lake are well accustomed to pishers, so it is a great place to practice the technique. Dress warmly and give it a try. Bird snacks are provided (feel tree to bring some yourself). Bring your binoculars if you have some. Time: 1:00 p.m. |
