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.

Dates

8:30 a.m. February 2

8:30 a.m. March 2

8:00 a.m. April 6

7:00 a.m. May 4, June 1, July 6, August 3, September 7

All are welcome, and you do not have to be an experienced birder, for extra eyes and ears are very helpful.  

(Call or text Suann 604-240-2452 for more information.)


Monthly Bird Counts - Autumn (To be determined)

The return of the sea birds is a welcome sight in the fall and we hope to count thousands when they arrive to spend the winter here.

All are welcome to join us when we meet at the entrance to Birdsong Path in the parking lot of Lighthouse Park on the first Sunday of the month.

Novice and experienced birders welcome.

Educational Walks and Talks

From Estuaries to Ice Ages, Tide Flats to Tafoni: The Geological Intrigues of the Salish Sea Region By Bob Turner

Saturday, April 12, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Geologically, the Salish Sea region has it all: glacier-carved fiords, towering volcanoes, the rumble of earthquakes, an island-strewn sea, honeycomb-weathered sandstone, ancient exotic terranes, and ecologically rich estuaries to name just a few. This talk pulls the curtain back on the fascinating stories behind these geological intrigues.

Bob tuner is a long-time resident of Nexwlelexwem / Bowen Island, its former mayor, a retired federal geoscientist, and co-author of several books on the geology of the Vancouver and Sea to Sky region. He is also a filmmaker with over 45 short movies about wildlife and wild places around the Salish Sea posted on his 'Bob Turner' YouTube channel and website (https://oursalishsea.ca/). He was part of the team that achieved the UNESCO Biosphere Region designation for Atl'ka7tsem/Howe Sound in 2021, and currently leads the Bowen Island Conservancy's biodiversity conservation initiative.
