Plants and Birds of Cattle Point and Uplands Park
Plants and Birds of Cattle Point and Uplands Park
July 12, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Cattle Point, Oak Bay, BC, Canada
FIELD TRIP (LEVEL 2)
Plants and Birds of Cattle Point and Uplands Park
This is an area of interest both to botanists and birders, so we’ll enjoy some of each even though it’s past prime season for a good number of the botany treasures. We can enjoy watching for seeds! Dr. Chris Brayshaw spent many years documenting the rare plants in this area so we will try to find some of the seas well as enjoying the birds along the way so bring your binoculars, too. We will be on some rocky bits, but this is basically a level trail so is an opportunity for those who can’t handle the usual Southern Vancouver Island rocky terrain where the wildflowers typically grow. Cattle Point/Up-lands Park is on Beach Drive between Oak Bay and Cadboro Bay. Meet at the nature sign at the Cattle Point waterfront parking area at 10:00 a.m. Contact Agnes at the lynns at shaw.ca or (250) 721-0634 if you need more information.

Florence Lake & Langford Lake Birding
Florence Lake & Langford Lake Birding
July 25, 2020 @ 7:30 am - 10:30 am
Springboard Pl, Victoria, BC V9B, Canada
FIELD TRIP (LEVEL 2)
Florence Lake & Langford Lake Birding
Join the Saturday Birding Group who will be going to Florence Lake and Langford Lake. We will meet at the boardwalk at Florence Lake at 7:30 a.m. To reach our starting point, go out the Island Highway and take Exit 15 McCallum Rd. Turn right at the stop and you will be on McCallum/Spencer Rd. Turn left on Springboard Pl (formerly Brock Ave). Park at end of road (not in turnaround) where we will meet. It’s about a half block to the boardwalk from there with a great view of the lake. Listen for Soras or Virginia Rails. Sometimes we’ll get Steller’s Jays and Band-tailed Pigeons and other birds not that common in town. After that, we will continue to Langford Lake. To get there, return on McCallum/Spencer Rd to the corner by the Shell station. Curve around the front of the gas station onto the frontage road which leads to the Leigh Rd overpass. Left at Leigh Rd and cross the highway on the overpass. Turn right on Goldstream Ave. Park at the west end of Goldstream Ave just before it deadends at the highway. Meet at the parking pullout and the group will meander down to the boardwalk from there. The marshy area often yields interesting birds, and the walk through the forest to the lake usually gives us woodpeckers and other good woodsy birds. Contact Agnes at the lynns at shaw.ca or (250) 721-0634 if you need more information.
