FIELD TRIP (LEVEL 2/3)
Duncan Area Butterflies & Birds
We will venture farther afield to the Duncan area this week to do some birding and perhaps enjoy some of the area’s butterflies. The morning will mostly be spent birding, starting with an enjoyable walk along the productive Dock Rd and then we will try to find a nearby Red-eyed Vireo plus other warblers, vireos and flycatchers. Bring a lunch and we will spend time in the afternoon searching for the amazing array of butterflies that are around the Duncan area. It needs to be sunny to make this part worthwhile. Otherwise we’ll continue birding in other spots nearby. Meet at 7:00 a.m. at Helmcken Park & Ride to car-pool or at 7:45 a.m. at Cowichan Bay Dock Road (north of the intersection of Cowichan Bay Road and Tzouhalem Road).

CANCELLED Jordan Ridge Bogs
CANCELLED Jordan Ridge Bogs
June 28, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Victoria, BC, Canada
Sunday, June 28
FIELD TRIP (LEVEL 3)
High Jordan Ridge Bogs
We plan to investigate an area high above Jordan River that contains unique sphagnum bogs usually only found at much higher elevations. Plants include round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia ), common butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris), bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) and labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum). We will also be checking out the birds on this trip although there is not a great diversity at this elevation. Be prepared in case of cold and/or wet weather due to the elevation and bring high rubber boots (hiking boots not good enough). A hiking stick is a good idea due to the very uneven ground. Bring food and drinks for the all-day outing. You must pre-register for this trip due to transportation limitations and potential change of plans due to road conditions. Number of participants will be dependent on availability of high-clearance or 4-wheel-drive vehicles for carpooling. Starts from Victoria around 8:00 a.m. Contact Agnes at thelynns at shaw.ca or (250) 721-0634 for more information and to register.
