Ptarmigan Day

A great presentation today by Dr. Kathy Martin of the Centre for Alpine Studies at UBC, on the Vancouver Island White-tailed Ptarmigan. This event was another in the series of Parks 100 Conservation Events in honour of Strathcona Park's Centennial. Participants came from as far afield as Bowser & Quadra Island. Several had heard about the event from the BCVI Birds  group on Yahoo  and  re-discovered some birding connections with Kathy. The social was appreciated and the weather was even  sociable with partial sun & views of Mt. Albert Edward.

Tomorrow's volunteer at the Centre is Linda, who is multi-lingual & with multiple interests as a member of the Comox Valley Naturalists Society and the Comox District Mountaineering Club.
