Thursday, May 3: Iona Island Regional Park.  Meet leader Thomas Plath (778 928-9206) at 730 am in the parking lot near washrooms at the end of Park Road. Trips will last about 3 hours, covering the outer and inner ponds. Hopefully several species of northbound shorebirds will be present in the ponds. Dress for the weather and wear boots as some trails may be muddy. Bring bins or scopes. Contact the leader tomplath@telus.net should you need a ride or more information.
