This month's Friends of Uplands Park bird walk is this coming Sunday, March 26th. We meet in the main parking lot at Cattle Point at 8:00 a.m. Hope to see you there!

We are excited to announce that Geoffrey and his brother Jean will be offering a new birding course this spring. It is taking place on Wednesday evenings at Monterey Recreation Centre in Oak Bay. Registration opens on April 6th through Recreation Oak Bay and the first session will be on Wednesday, April 26th. 

Here is the course description:

Birdwatching is more popular throughout the world than ever before! Join expert birder Geoffrey Newell and his brother Jean on the grand adventure of learning how to identify birds by plumage, shape, behaviour, flight style, vocalizations, and much more. The Victoria area is home to a rich selection of migratory and resident birds and is one of the best places in Canada to find rare species. This educational and interactive course includes 7 classroom sessions followed by a field trip to one of Victoria's top birding hotspots. 

The course will be suitable for birders of all levels. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you and happy spring birding!

Geoffrey, Jean, and David Newell
