Spring
Bird-Watching Excursions
April, May and June are exciting
months throughout
British Columbia for birds. And central Vancouver Island is no
exception! The peak of the spring bird migration is
during this time. The birds are
in their best breeding plumage and are easily seen. You
will have your choice of birding the East side of
Vancouver Island, or the West side. Vancouver Island
specialties include Harlequin Duck, Brant, Marbled Murrelet, Pigeon Guillemot, Chestnut-backed Chickadee,
Varied Thrush, Bewick's Wren and others. Many of these
birds are found only along the coast of western North
America.
Your guide, has lived on
Vancouver Island for many years and has many birding
awards and can show you exactly where to find the birds
you seek. Wonderful scenery and lots of other nature
interpretation is included. We can start very early in
the morning, or at a more leisurely time at your
convenience.
Pricing: $70 per
person for a morning outing
$100 per person for a day's outing
