CENTRAL SAANICH — Have you ever wanted to bird watch?

This is a great time of year for birding, as courtship and territory disputes fill the air with song. Join a CRD Regional Parks naturalist to learn what to look for and how to use binoculars and field guides. Bring binoculars if you have them. A spotting scope is provided.

It’s happening Saturday June 2 from 9-11 a.m. at Island View Beach Regional Park, suitable for anyone over 8 years old. Meet at the grassy area adjacent ot the picnic shelter off Homathko Road. Please leave your pets at home.
