Vancouver Island/Pac Rim national park Sept.: sites to suggest? (1 Viewer)

[Jeff B]

I'd appreciate any recommendations for mid-Sept. bird-watching spots on Vancouver Island, particularly around Nanaimo and Pacific Rim National Park (and particularly ones that might appeal to or handle my toddler in tow). (Lodging recommendations--cabins--would be a bonus.)

Thanks!

Hi can recommend the George Reifel bird refuge on the mainland near Vancouver , lots of variety there and on Sundays they do a guided walk. also good for Loons seabirds on the ferry crossing from Nanaimo, as well as on the island itself. a good guide to Vancouver Island is by Keith Taylor.

Have you read the Nanimo Bird alerts posted by CBpear. Here is the one from the first of Sept. http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=95383&highlight=nanaimo I would contact him for information and current sightings.
