We’ve been getting many enquiries from members about registration for the AGM and Extension Trip.
We’re doing things a little differently this year.
Registration will open April 2 for both the Cranbrook Conference and the Southern Alberta Extension. There will be two Extension Trips offered, one before the AGM and one afterwards. Both trips are identical; the post-conference simply reverses the route of the pre-conference trip.
Full details will be published here in mid-March to coincide with the publication of the March issue of BC Birding, which will also contain all the details.
However, you can book your Cranbrook area accommodation now. Listed accommodations are offering conference rates.
A cross-border birding festival is something to celebrate. Join with our Washington State neighbours to experience the splendours of our shared waterway, the Salish Sea, during the Wings Over Water festival held in Blaine on March 11, 12, and 13, 2016.
A new BCFO ‘Featured Photographer’ (number 13 in our continuing series) is now available for your viewing pleasure. See ‘Features’ tab above. Our presenter, Ian Routley, hails from a relatively off-the-beaten-track location in southern BC, where he can indulge his passions for the outdoors, nature, and cameras. ((Remember to click on the landscape-format photographs (like the one below) to enlarge them, so you can better savour the impeccable crispness of his images).
The latest sets (Rounds 9 & 10) of accepted records of the BCFO Bird Records Committee are now posted in BRC Public under the BRC drop-down menu above.
A full report of all the committee’s Round 9 and 10 deliberations will be published in an upcoming issue of BCFO’s journal, British Columbia Birds.
You will also find the BCFO Rare Bird Report Form and the Provincial Review List under the same drop-down menu. Submissions of rare bird sightings in British Columbia are invited and encouraged.
The following In press paper from British Columbia Birds is now available on the BCFO Member’s area of the web site:
