Herring Gull - An Island Spirit Legacy.
The Cowichan Valley Trail will take you from Duncan through Lake Cowichan and down past the Kinsol Trestle following former CN and E&N railway lines. With many access points and 8 trestles, it's a beautiful trail to walk, jog or bike. From the Island Spirit Team, we hope you enjoy your time in the Cowichan Valley.
All the Island Spirit Legacy Caches are within a 2 steps of the trail, there is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation unless otherwise noted.
Herring Gull
The Herring Gull is the most common gull in Canada. They enjoy living near oceans and other bodies of water where they have access to shellfish, although they are opportunistic eaters and will live near any food source. They like to nest in colonies and will stay in the same nest for up to 20 years. On the West Coast the gulls that are old enough to breed do not migrate and stay year-round.
