Rainbird also offers wine tasting excursions to Vancouver Island wineries	A rainy day at Dickson Falls. Yes, sometimes it rains in the rainforest!	These petroglyphs at Sproat Lake were carved into this rock wall at least a couple of thousand years ago.
A bear at the Somass River Estuary, just outside Port Alberni. The best time to see these guys is the summer.	Western Sulphur (Colias occidentalis) A superb picture of a fairly common butterfly.	This is a Gray Jay found only at higher elevations on Vancouver Island. They can be very tame!
Many locals aren't even aware of this suspension Bridge at Fossli Provincial Park near Port Alberni.	Stamp Falls is a magical place in the fall. Click on the picture to enlarge it and you will see a huge salmon jumping. Thousands are in the river below the falls in October.	Kennedy Canyon is an incredible spot where water from the melting glaciers has carved the rock in amazing shapes.
