In 2016, a six-month trip to<br />
and from Alaska led through BC<br />
in both directions. Starting in<br />
spring and returning in fall, they<br />
followed the birds both ways! The<br />
BC expedition began with a ferry<br />
from Seattle to Nanaimo, Vancouver<br />
Island. During a fantastic<br />
week of diving, they explored and<br />
photographed the cold, colorful,<br />
pristine waters of BC’s inside<br />
passage. It was then off to the<br />
Native American village of Bella<br />
Bella where the head of a long<br />
fjord is surrounded by beautiful<br />
mountains and pods of dolphins<br />
playing in the water. During the<br />
1930s, Bella Bella was one of the<br />
first places scholars started chronicling<br />
the stories of BC’s North<br />
Pacific Coast Native Americans.<br />
Hear about some of the stories<br />
from their Native American<br />
story teller guide and their hike<br />
to some out of the way sacred<br />
petroglyphs. Voyaging further<br />
north, they also learned that in<br />
Prince Rupert, the best place to<br />
see eagles is the town dump! On<br />
the return leg, the colors from the<br />
aurora borealis to fall foliage were<br />
striking. In Hot Springs they had<br />
the unique opportunity to see and<br />
photograph a wood bison family.<br />

The Arctic in summer is an<br />
incredible place. Whether you<br />
are on land or at sea, it is a minimalist’s<br />
dream with relatively few<br />
animals, diminutive plant life, flat<br />
landscapes interrupted by vertical<br />
cliffs, it is a formidably unforgiving<br />
landscape. But the animals<br />
are amazing, the plant life is vibrant<br />
(even if the trees are only a<br />
couple of centimeters high), and<br />
those cliffs can hold millions of<br />
nesting seabirds. David traveled<br />
around Svalbard aboard a small<br />
ship in the summer of 2016 and<br />
recorded 16 polar bears, mostly<br />
while sailing near the pack ice,<br />
millions of dovekies, hundreds of<br />
<br />
<br />
thousands of thick-billed murres,<br />
arctic terns, all three jaegers,<br />
great skuas, glaucous and ivory<br />
gulls, and much more at sea. On<br />
land, there were views of reindeer,<br />
arctic fox, and a few passerines.<br />
Come along on a virtual<br />
tour of this journey at the edges<br />
of civilization and beyond.<br />
Natural Selection of Birds—<br />
Darwin’s Finches Program for<br />
3rd graders<br />
In this program designed for<br />
children in Grade 3, one of Broadmoor’s<br />
teacher naturalists will<br />
come to your school and transform<br />
your class of students into finches<br />
living on the Galápagos Islands!<br />
Through the use of hand-puppets,<br />
each student “bird” will try<br />
to feed on the islands using their<br />
specific behavioral and physical<br />

adaptations. Depending on success,<br />
the birds will decide if they<br />
stay or migrate to find the best<br />
environment to meet their needs.<br />
Through the simulation, students<br />
experience the variety of<br />
challenges, competition, and<br />
success that drive evolution and<br />
survival in nature. Students use<br />
worksheets to collect data and discuss<br />
the variables that influenced<br />
the likelihood of their bird’s survival.<br />
