2025 Meetings
All meetings are at St. Edmund’s
From 2pm to 4pm.
Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month.
The meetings begin at 2 pm (doors open at 1:30pm)
There is no meeting in December, but we hold a potluck on Christmas Bird Count Sunday.
There are no meetings in July and August, but we enjoy at least one picnic at Rathtrevor Park.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are meeting within the unceded traditional territories of the Snaw-naw-as people and the Qualicum First Nation, the traditional keepers of these lands.
Today, many First Nations and Métis peoples continue to live, work and play here as do we. We intend to nurture better understanding and pursue opportunities for collaboration with our First Nations neighbours.

“The Old Man and the Vultures”
Dave Manning, nature writer, photographer and long-time
birder, fell in love with Vultures at age 65 when he stumbled
upon a small Turkey Vulture chick peeking out of its nest cave.
His program is about the 3 Vultures of North America, with
special emphasis on a Turkey Vulture nest site he observed from
mating to migration.
Singer/writer, Eroca Dancer, will add a
musical touch to the show. Dave’s best selling Turkey Vulture
book will be available.
