Join authors and photographers Ian Wilson and Jacinthe Lavoie as they share their “travelogue with wings” and explore Canada one bird at a time, from shorebirds to songbirds, and raptors to waterfowl.
This colourful 45-minute presentation is a mix of vivid images and entertaining stories ... from watching the intricate mating ritual of cranes, to cedar waxwings feeding a nest of young birds, and pelicans diving for fish.
After the presentation Ian and Jacinthe welcome questions about photography and the birds they have met along the way.
