About the Event
We’re off to Vancouver Island to track down “rare” species listed on the Capital District, Vancouver and Gulf Islands, or BC Rare Bird Alert pages. Once on the ferry together, we’ll plan our route based on where the best birds have been sighted, what we’d most like to see and where we can get to without driving too far.
Bring a lunch, lots to drink, binoculars and dress for the weather. Contact Steve at sdunsmuir@gmail.com to arrange carpooling. We'll return on the 3:40 pm ferry.
