2011 Squamish River Important Bird Area (IBA) Report - Chris Dale

2011 Squamish River IBA Report ~ Chris Dale

Concerns in the Squamish IBA this year are the same as for the last few years. The number of people using the Squamish Estuary for recreation is putting more pressure on the area. The number of wind-surfers, dog walkers and illegal campers along the Squamish River dike has increased the the traffic through the estuary section of the IBA. Most dog walkers are respectful and are aware that the area is a wildlife management area but some insist on not only letting, but encouraging their dogs to run off-leash and chase birds.

Location: Howe Sound Inn and Brew Pub, at the end of Cleveland Ave, in Squamish.
There, we will form four groups to go out and count every feathered creature we can hear or see in the Squamish Estuary. Novice birders are welcome to join us in this fun and educational endeavor. We will meet up again after the count at about 12:30 to share our results, and for optional lunch together.
