Hi Birders and Banders,



We've just published the very first edition of VARC's quarterly newsletter -
appropriately called VARC chat!



We hope to be able to bring you news each quarter on VARC's banding and
monitoring activities and other interesting bird related features and
information.



The newsletter can be viewed as a PDF file at:

We had some very nice feedback from Vancouver birders (Thanks!) on our
January blog concerning our photo essay on ageing Black-capped Chickadees
which can be viewed at: http://www.birdvancouver.com/january.html



Happy birding/banding!



Derek
