Island View Beach Regional Park, 3215 Island View Rd, Saanichton, BC V8M 1W3, Canada
Island View Beach Park Birding
FIELD TRIP (LEVEL 2/3)
Join the Saturday Birding Group who will be going to Island View Beach Park. Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the north end of the parking lot. It’s the time of year that we might find some interesting shorebirds on their return migration and we will still see a few beach flowers in the dunes as we walk along. We'll walk as far north as the Park boundary on the ocean side and turn back from there, walking on the trail away from the water to check for other interesting birds. There are several side trails to explore off that main one. To reach Island View Beach, go north on the Pat Bay highway, turn right at the lights at Island View Rd (Michell's Market) and follow that to a left on Homathko Rd that leads to the parking lot. Contact Agnes at thelynns at shaw.ca or (250) 721-0634 if you need more information.

Sidney Spit Birding (Level 3)
Sidney Spit Birding (Level 3)
August 22, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Sidney Spit Marine Park, Southern Gulf Islands, BC V0N 2Y0, Canada
YOU MUST GET YOUR TICKETS ASAP IF YOU WANT TO GO ON THIS TRIP. It’s the time of year to make the trek over to Sidney Spit on Sidney Island to look for interesting shorebirds on their southern migration. There are always good ones reported from there – Baird’s Sandpiper, Sanderlings, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers, maybe even that illusive Buff-breasted Sandpiper we always hope to see! Also close-ups on Purple Martins and we’ll see other passerines in the woods. Many invasive plants have been removed from the Spit to allow more habitat for native plants and areas for nesting birds. Bring a lunch and drinks (no water available on island). Due to the over-crowding on the ferry on the weekend, we have chosen to go during the week. For details on the trip including the ferry and to register, contact Agnes asap at thelynns at shaw.ca or (250) 721-0634.
