Imagine if you could go on a tropical vacation every year. The catch though: you have to get there by running… that’s a long way! Yellow warblers (and other warblers, too) are way cool because, despite weighing little more than a toonie, they are long distance flyers. PhD candidate Simon Valdez will tell you about the challenges small birds face in a big world.
Included with museum admission or membership.

One benefit of living in the oceanic climate of BC is that we enjoy two springs in one year. In March and April we are treated to a magnificent show of local wildflowers. In October, our soils thrust up an equally colourful bloom of matchless (and often munchable) mushrooms. Most of these fall mushrooms live in intimate relationships with the BC forest vegetation. This talk will explore the science, scientists, and scenery of the wild mycorrhizal mushrooms.
Included with museum admission or membership.
