🐟 Thank you to everyone who joined us today for our Tide Pool walk! We had some wonderful finds including two opalescent nudibranchs, red rock crabs, sea cucumbers, and more! It was great to see everyone looking for finds together and helping each other learn, whether it be though facts or technique- some of us now know how to pick up crabs without being pinched!

We appreciate everyone for coming and hope to see everyone again soon.

A little bit of rain doesn’t stop WildResearch from having a good birding day!

This morning, Chloe Boynton took us through the beautiful trails of Maplewood Flats in the Wild Bird Trust area. Despite the weather, we observed 15 species, some people even adding new ones to their life lists!

We learned about how gulls are a difficult species to identify in BC because of hybridization. We chatted about how species names sometimes don’t reflect the bird itself (do Double-crested Cormorants actually have double crests? Don’t Red-breasted Nuthatches have orange breasts), just like plum pudding, a dessert which has neither plum nor pudding.

Thank you to Vinci for logging the eBird list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S376760161

This morning Wild Research gathered at Stanley Park to learn about Dragonflies and Damselflies. Despite the cool temperatures (these bugs like it hot), our fearless leader Kyle Horner and the net savvy Mike Boyd managed to catch a Blue-eyed Darner, a Blue Dasher, and both a male and female Pacific Forktail. We were able to look at the beautiful bugs up close, saw plenty of others flying around, witnessed them mating and laying eggs, and learned a lot along the way.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out, and to Kyle and Mike for sharing your bug knowledge and net wielding skills with us!
