    Vancouver Island/Pac Rim national park Sept.: sites to suggest?

    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.
