Monthly Bird Counts - Winter, Spring, Summer
Spring is always an exciting time of the year to count the birds in the park. As well as our resident birds who are nesting here, we see those who have migrated north for the summer.
The first Sunday in the month we meet in the parking lot at the entrance to Birdsong Path.

8:00 a.m. April 5
7:00 a.m. May 3, June 7, July 5, August 2, September 6
All are welcome, and you do not have to be an experienced birder, for extra eyes and ears are very helpful.

Educational Walks and Talks
Talk at West Vancouver Memorial Library, Saturday April 18, 2 pm
Raven or Crow? Who's Who? by June Hunter
Saturday, April 18, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
A big black bird flies over your head. Was that a crow or a raven? Both are intelligent, engaging and often hilarious birds; their many similarities making them hard to tell apart at a glance. This talk and audio-visual presentation by Vancouver photographer June Hunter will provide the toolkit you need to confidently distinguish one from the other, touching on appearance, location, behaviour and calls. The main message of this talk is that both crows and ravens are infinitely fascinating and can teach us a lot about our own place in the world.
