There is a newsletter available to those interested. Overlooking Juan de Fuca strait, the unique geography and mixed forest here at the extreme southern end of Vancouver Island attracts both migrants and vagrant bird species. A remarkable 268 species have been recorded at the site. Currently, banding operations are only conducted from late July through October. It has been active since 1978.
Membership includes newsletter and a chance to see banding and possibly be trained to band.
We just banded a black-throated gray on Sept 14,1996. Selkirk at Selkirk Provincial Park just outside of Selkirk, Ruthven at Ruthven Historic Park just outside of Cayuga, and Rock Point which is located at Rock Point Provincial Park outside of Dunnville. All stations have mist nets and run census routes. They are in operation from approximately the third week in July to the first week in November and from the third weekend in March until the first weekend in June. Volunteers should contact the individual banders in charge.
