SUMMARY:VICTORIA
DESCRIPTION:Hawk Watch! \nWe have been generously invited to join our adult nature club and nature mentors at the Victoria Natural History Society (VNHS) to learn about the phenomenon of the fall migration and to join them for a BBQ at 3 p.m. \nIt’s migration time!  From mid-September to late October\, birds gather in East Sooke Regional Park riding the thermals and waiting for the perfect opportunity and good weather to cross 27 km of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Washington State and further south.  At the peak of migration as many as 1000 Turkey Vultures can be seen kettling over the coastal hills along with a mix of other raptor species\, including Red-tailed Hawk\, Peregrine Falcon\, Merlin\, American Kestrel\, Cooper’s Hawk\, Sharp-shinned Hawk\, Northern Harrier\, Osprey\, and Bald Eagle. If you’re lucky\, you may spot some other rare raptors that pass through at this time of year\, including the Golden Eagle\, Rough-legged Hawk\, Northern Goshawk\, and Broad-winged Hawk. \nMeet at 11 am near the VNHS tent at the far end of the parking lot\, Aylard Farm entrance of East Sooke Regional Park.  If you come late and just want to join us for the BBQ- this will be in the same spot\, in the grassy area at the far end of the Aylard Farm parking lot. \nWHAT TO BRING?  Appropriate clothing for changeable weather (it can be cooler and windy on Beechey Head)\, sturdy shoes for the walk up to Beechey Head (mostly easy except for a short steep and rocky section at the end)\, binoculars if you have them (if not\, there are some available to borrow). Also snacks and water (no water available on site).  If you plan to stay for the picnic BBQ starting at 3\, you may want to bring a picnic blanket and/or lawn chairs and picnic supplies (plates/cutlery/drinks). Don’t forget your Passports to Nature! \n

SUMMARY:SOUTH OKANAGAN
DESCRIPTION:Kettle Valley Rail Trail Bike Ride \nJoin us for a bike ride from Naramata to Penticton on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR) – it’s an easy 15km ride on a gradual downhill grade.

SUMMARY:COMOX VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Focus on Fungus! \nWe are lucky to have Alison Maingon from Comox Valley Nature joining us as our guest leader\, helping us to find and learn about various forest fungi located in the park. It might be fun to bring a magnifying glass on this trip as mushrooms can look pretty cool close up! Mushroom photos are fun too if you have a camera or phone you want to use for pictures.\n\nPlease come prepared for the weather as we tend to go out rain or shine. If the weather is looking “iffy” I will send out an email confirming whether or not we are going out by 11am. Generally speaking\, we only call it off if there is a heavy wind making it potentially unsafe in the forest.\n\nLocation and directions: Nymph Falls Nature Park. Take Piercy Road from Condensory Road heading to Inland Island Highway 19. Turn Left on Forbidden Plateau Road. The main parking lot is on the left hand side.
