Metchosin Talk&Wallk #129 happens on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 7 pm. The event will take place in our new venue at the Metchosin ArtCentre, across the street from the My-Chosen Café.
Cara Herrington will be joining us to present an overview of her ongoing research on Turkey Vultures and their northward range expansion in British Columbia. She will outline the ecological significance of range edges and how these are affected by climate and anthropogenic change. Cara will introduce the Turkey Vulture and the GPS tracking work being conducted by The Raptors, explaining how individual movement data helps reveal behavioral strategies applied to range edges. The Juan de Fuca Strait is a major migratory barrier for the species and weather conditions influence successful crossings.
There will be no Saturday walk to accompany this talk.
