Description:

Birds are a common sight, but have you ever wondered how many species visit Vancouver Island, where they come from, and why they choose this destination? In this course, we will explore these fascinating questions and more through the stunning photography of Mike Yip. Join us as we uncover the migration patterns, habitats, and behaviors of the island's avian residents and visiting vagrants, offering a deeper understanding of the birds that have been seen on Vancouver Island.

Instructor: Mike Yip retired from teaching in 2001. In 2003 the chance encounter with some strange ducks inspired him to take up birding and bird photography. Since then he has self-published 7 books and delivered numerous PowerPoint presentations on birds from one end of the island to the other.
