Mountain Bluebird's Moving Through


Recently we have had a few reports of Mountain Bluebirds in the Central Island Area. Although the birds don't breed here we hear about a few bluebirds every spring.
Last year they were spotted at the Nanaimo River Estuary and Neck Point. So far this year we have confirmed sightings at the Somass Estuary in Port Alberni (6 in total) and 9 at the Englishman River Estuary near the look out. Another report of 1 bluebird came from Gabriola Island on the South end.

Let us know if you see any Mountain Bluebirds! thebackyard@shaw.ca or 205.390.3669
