As part of a temperate rainforest, Vancouver Island is the ideal nesting place for over 440 different species of rare and native birds, including swans, geese, ducks, teals, quails, eagles, and more, as well as visiting species that enjoy the local climate.
Watch the eagles soar above the annual salmon run in Goldstream Park, just outside of Victoria. Learn about the local birds of prey with flying demonstrations and hands-on encounters in the Cowichan Valley, or listen to the soulful songs in a bird sanctuary in Nanaimo. From north to south and east to west, you’ll find spectacular opportunities to see birds in their natural habitats.
