Are you interested in learning to identify Bowen's resident winter birds? Adults and school-age children are welcome to take part in a workshop on Saturday, Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to noon in the library at BICS. Please contact Pam Dicer at 604-947-9558 or bobandpam@shaw.ca to register for this free session.
You are not required to be a member of the Nature Club in order to do the workshop, neither do you have to take part in the annual Christmas bird count, although we would love you to put your newly-acquired skills to the test. The count is on Wednesday, Dec. 28, and will happen regardless of weather. Please contact Pam before Christmas if you would like to take part. There will be a post-count social after 4 p.m.
Bowen first participated in the count in 1988 and is now part of the Howe Sound Count Circle. Our data is added to that of other nearby islands, Lions Bay and part of West Van. The first count in North America took place 112 years ago. Please help us add to the valuable information gathered over the years by contributing what hours you can spare.
