Fourteen-year-old Liron Gertsman, an avid birder and photographer, hosted a tour of the Maplewood Conservation Area with the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre-based Young Naturalists' Club of B.C. Winter birding took young children and their parents on an excursion identifying bird species both in their natural habitat and at enhanced locations created to attract birds in a safe environment. Kids were able to view waterfowl and other birds through a telescope set up by Gertsman, learning their markings and particular characteristics. The next event, Whoo's There? with presenter Raptors Ridge takes place Jan. 25 from 1-2:30 p.m. For information or to register visit ync.ca or call 604-990-3755.
