A big thanks to Jared Hobbs, who lent his impressive photography to our bat display earlier this year.
His photographs featured on our backlit panels, or ‘batlits’ in this case 🦇 You can see more of his excellent work at his website hobbsphotos.com

PS Many of my suggestions for documenting Grey Whale observations came from a reading of the "Grey Whale" chapter ( Pp. 115-129 ) in Dr. John K. B. Ford's excellent "Marine Mammals of British Columbia" handbook, published by the @RBCMPub in 2014. shop.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/pro… #CRC2440
I have put together some notes you might find useful for recording local Grey Whale #CRC2440 sightings. I am heading for Glencoe Cove, where the Haro Strait Grey was sighted this morning. I am bringing my Rite in the Rain notebook and pen with me, just in case it’s wet out there.

Over the next six months, Yellowhead will be working on a few special projects - ongoing TRC accountability, a treaty mapping project, a new Yellowhead Bulletin - and we need some research muscle. Take a look at our posting and maybe send us a note:
