IT'S MIGRATION TIME


The fall migration is under way and yesterday Tuesday August 14, 2007, we received a report of approximately 100 Sandhill Cranes seen at the Courtney Estuary. Also watch for Least and Western Sandpipers, yellowlegs and loons. In the backyards watch for the birds to begin flocking, such as with the Chestnut-back Chickadees and for other to begin changing plumage like the American Goldfinch and the starlings. If you have any sightings to report email or call the Nanaimo bird alert at 250-390-3029.

Good birding.
