ANNOUNCING BCFO’S FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHERS
Starting today we will be showcasing some of the outstanding photography of our members – BC birds only.
Laure Neish graciously agreed to be our first Featured Photographer.
Thank you so much, Laure, for your marvellous photographs, and for helping us to get this new undertaking for BCFO up and running.
Every three months we will feature a different photographer, and archive the previous ones for an additional nine months on the Featured Photographer page.
A small committee, Carlo Giovanella and George Clulow, has worked to produce this first showcase of photographs. You’ll find the images under the above Featured Photographer tab, or just click here, and away you go.

Christmas Bird Counts 2012-2013 Calendar
The latest Christmas Bird Count calendar is now available under the CBC’s tab above. It contains all the information we have received to date.
As you will see when you go there, there are a number of new features this year.
First, is timeliness. Unlike previous years when the information here was not regularly updated, this year will be different. We are committed to update the calendar with new information within two-days of receiving it.
Second, is to report provisional results from around the Province as they occur.
With your help, we will improve the communication and engagement around CBC’s this year. Please take a look at what we’re trying to do.
