I hope this reaches her in time.

There were up to 6 Snowy Owls still present in the greenhouse area at the
foot of 64th last weekend. I would think there will still be a few around
this weekend.

The phone # for Reifel is (604) 946-6980.

present along with a juvenile Northern Goshawk.

The Vancouver Bird Alert tape number is 604-737-3074.
