We’ll be heading to Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Delta on Saturday, May 14 from 9am to 11am. As this event is not transit accessible, you will be able to coordinate carpooling via our private Facebook Group. If you aren’t on Facebook, you can email [email protected].

We’re excited to have Melissa Hathing lead this event! She’s a young Black woman leader in the BC Birding Community who loves photographing birds and feels it enhances her birding experience by giving visual memories that last forever. She enjoys helping people with bird identification and finding birds and planning trips.

Please note that it’s important that we respect the rules of the sanctuary and any instructions we’re given on the day of the event to make sure that we’re not causing any harm to the wildlife.
