Marine Bird Guide
The birds in our local area delight visitors. Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Black Oyster Catchers are confident, distinctly skilled, and all scavenge and hunt before our very eyes. Belted Kingfishers chatter, Common Murre dive beneath the waters surface creating trails behind them like underwater jet planes as they ruthlessly attack a frightened school of fish (ball of bait).
Bird watching is a must on the south end of Vancouver Island, where Bald Eagles are abundant, and Auklets, Guillemots, Black Oyster Catchers and Common Murre are just a few of what you may encounter along the way. Both Juan de Fuca and Haro Straights are the "Pacific Flyway" for many different species of bird.
Our creative & passionate Marine Naturalists are eager to share with you an intimate and unlimited resource right here in our very own backyard.
In the event you are unable to join us here in Victoria, It is our great pleasure that we offer to you the most comprehensive marine bird guide in the industry. From the comfort of your own home you may experience the bio-diversity of one of our marine adventures.
