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, unless otherwise noted. There is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation.
Junco
A little sparrow, and one of the most abundant forest birds in North America, Juncos are primarily a seed eater so they are very common visitors of bird feeder. They also spend quite a bit of time jumping around the bases of trees and shrubs searching for fallen seeds. During breeding season they will expand their diet and include various different insects. Females will usually build their nests on the ground out of grass, twigs, moss and sometimes hair. It is rare for the nest to be re-used.
