Geocache Description:


With 462 species in Canada, “Birding” is a fascinating hobby for a growing number of Canadians. Our beautiful coastal area is part of the “Boundary Bay biome” or ecosystem. This is Canada’s top bird area with over 330 species, including some rare and endangered ones. A key stop-over on the Pacific Flyway for north-south migration, our area also provides opportunity to see many non-resident species, 50 different species of shorebirds alone, and more than 100,000 wintering waterfowl.

The handsome Mallard is the best known wild duck in the world. Even in the heart of the city, Mallards wade ashore from freshwater ponds to take food from their admiring fans. Mallards raise one brood per year of 8 to 12 ducklings. This spot is a favourite nesting place for Mallards and whole families are often on display, depending on the time of year.

Take care not to feed the ducks.
