The mild winters and diverse habitats around the greater Vancouver area provides excellent birding opportunities year-round.

During the cold months, hundreds of thousands of water birds such as Surf Scoter and Dunlin overwinter on our coast. In the summer, forests are filled with the songs of Yellow Warblers, Swainson's Thrush and Rufous Hummingbirds. Various species of owls such as Barred Owl and Great Horned Owl can also be seen all year.
