The Quinte Field Naturalists (QFN) are thrilled to invite members and the public to their upcoming monthly speaker presentation on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Maranatha Church (100 College St West, Belleville).
The featured guest speaker is local Prince Edward County photographer, author, and retired academic ophthalmologist Yvonne Buys.
After retiring in 2020 following a distinguished 30-year career at the University of Toronto—where she specialized in glaucoma, published nearly 200 peer-reviewed articles, and lectured globally—Yvonne turned her lifelong focus toward a new passion: wildlife and bird photography.
Combining a keen scientific eye with a deep love for nature, Yvonne has become a prominent voice for local wildlife through her column in the Wellington Times and her stunning book, Look What Flew Through The County: The Birds of Prince Edward County. Co-authored with Terry Sprague and David Bree, the book celebrates the rich avian biodiversity of the region. Notably, all proceeds from the book have been generously donated to support the Prince Edward Bird Observatory (PEBO).
Attendees are encouraged to bring their copies of Look What Flew Through The County to the meeting for a special book signing opportunity following the presentation.
