The rest of Canada is very, very cold, but it has been a mild winter so far in the Central Okanagan. As a result, birders have continued their birding trips and hiking groups have continued their weekly trips (on snowshoes).

Their are even rumors that some members have found some flowers (buttercups) in bloom.

The February meeting is coming up soon, our annual potluck banquet. Contact the president if you would like a ticket; there are only a few tickets left.
