Guest leader Gerry Racey will lead us on a snowshoe scavenger hunt through the varying habitats of Mills Block Forest. We will embark on a winter tracking adventure and learn to spot and identify signs of wildlife. Along the way, we will discuss the winter ecology and biological adaptations of local boreal species.
Join us for a winter adventure in Brule Bay with Marian and Mike Childs. We will travel along the shore and/or an inland trail to see an open spring in the ice. Depending on the weather and travelling speed of the group, we may continue onwards to see the ice formations.
Join us for socializing, dinner and a thought-provoking presentation.
We are pleased to announce that the speakers have been confirmed. A presentation will be made by Brian Ratcliff, Allan Gilbert and Susan Craig, entitled "The Rhythm of Birding in Thunder Bay District". The presentation, in play form, will tell how birders engage in their passion through the seasons, with humorous stories about the 2021 Brian Moore Trophy competition. A slideshow will accompany this passionate camaraderie of our local Thunder Bay birders.
The TBFN Annual Dinner Meeting will be at the Current River Community Centre on Sunday, February 27, 2022. Symposium 4:30 pm, Supper 5:45 pm. There will be a silent auction and a cash bar (cash only).
