Hi kids and parents,
Our last field trip of the year is scheduled for Oct 3rd! We had to do it so soon after our mini-pelagic trip because the snow is coming to the mountains. We have 10 kids signed up thus far. Our Mini pelagic has 20 people signed up (15 children) so sign up fast as I will keep this group smaller. The pelagic in Victoria will be a great way to connect with the Vancouver island children birders and this trip will be a great way to connect with other children from the province. This is a great way to build connection and community in the youth birding movement in the province of BC!
This hike is not suitable for small children it is a 3 hour return hike on the Overlord Trail and Marmot Trail in moderate terrain at Blackcomb Mountain. Any parents or kids 16 and under who would like to participate please email or pm me at Bcbirdergirl(at)gmail(dot)com for more details and meeting points etc. I have valid first aid/cpr for children and adults as well. Please feel free to email with any questions.
*There will be a cost for transportation and a cost for the gondola (which if we purchase in advance saves us considerable money).*
Our targets for this trip are White-tailed Ptarmigan, Gray-crowned Rosy finch, Pika and Hoary Marmots.

Thanks to all the parents and kids who support my field trips. See you on the 5th for the mini-pelagic and Oct 3rd for the hike!
I look forward to doing more with you kids next spring! Think of some more good ideas in the meantime!
Cheers,
Melissa
