Bird Records Committee and CBC’s

Posted on by

We’ve recently added some new information and documents to two areas of our website.

Under the BRC tab above you’ll find a new BRC General Information page which, among other things, offers downloadable copies of the BCFO Rare Bird Report Form. Also, the BRC has published its Provincial Review List, which you will find under the same drop-down menu. Submissions of rare bird sightings are invited and encouraged.

BCFO Featured Photographers #8 – John and Sheila Linn

Posted on by

BCFO proudly presents Number 8 in our series of ‘Featured Photographers’, and this time we are breaking new ground. Firstly, our FP is a team rather than an individual, namely John and Sheila Linn of Burnaby. This friendly and amicable couple, each toting DSLR cameras with identical long lenses, is often encountered by Lower Mainland birders who visit nature parks near the Linn’s home territory. As a second ‘first’ we are being treated to the results of their efforts, as their photos have not been previously posted anywhere for viewing.

To view John and Sheila’s work click here, or use the drop down menu under <Features <Featured Photographer above.

Salmon Arm Two-Day Field Trip – Waitlist

Posted on by

Ted Hillary’s Two-Day Trip to Salmon Arm, August 30th to 31st, is now at capacity. However, Ted has graciously offered to keep a waitlist of interested people to fill in for any late cancellations. There were a number in 2012 when this trip was last offered.

If you wish to be placed on the waitlist, send Ted an email to that effect, or give him a call. Contact information can be found under the Events tab above, under Tours and Trips.

Long-billed or Short-billed? Perhaps Ted Hillary’s Salmon Arm trip will help you sort them out.
