1. Adventures on the Northern BC Coast, by Chris McVittie
– links to DNS YouTube Playlist
Chris is a retired entrepreneur who loves photography and has travelled widely. A long-time Delta Nats member and former Director, he is now a Director of the Delta Photo Club. His presentation is based on a tour of the Great Bear Rainforest in which he participated. He did not see a Spirit Bear, but there was lots of other wildlife to enjoy.
2. Haida Gwaii, by David Hoar
A retired Molecular Geneticist and Delta Nats Director, David has also travelled widely and has made a number of presentations to our club on his adventures. He and his wife Noreen made seven trips to Haida Gwaii between 1993 and 2017. His first visit to this fascinating area was in 1964.
3. Hummingbirds of Ecuador, by David Simon
A retired lawyer, David is a fairly new member of Delta Nats, having joined in October 2023. He also loves to travel and photograph wildlife and nature in all its glory. Although he has numerous photos of the birds of Ecuador, tonight’s presentation will focus on the many species of hummingbirds found there.
