In keeping with the Wildlife theme for the month, the field trip is to the North Island Widllife Recovery Center.  Located in Errington, BC on Vancouver Island in Canada, the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre is a world class wildlife rehabilitation facility specializing in the rehabilitation of black bears and raptors.

Notes

I’ve written to the NIWRC requesting that a volunteer raptor handler be  present to show  us the birds outside enclosures, so that we might get some unobstructed shots. I’ve yet to hear back as to whether their have managed to find a volunteer. However, I’m excited about the prospects.

Also, there is a small charge for entry to the Center.

Lunch is planned for Cuckoos Restaurant for 12 noon.  Cuckoos is in Coombs at the Old Country Market
