Session 6 – Who’s Feeding the Birds?
Sunday, May 24, 1 :00- 4:00 pm
Field portion: Our 2026 Biodiversity Extravaganza started with a look at the island’s birds. It’s a special time of the year because migrating species are returning to join the species that make our island their year-round home. Warblers, swallows, vireos, flycatchers, purple martins, thrushes, night hawks, and dozens of other species have, or soon will, join the approximately 100 permanent residents species to nest and raise their families among the natural wealth of Salt Spring Island.
On this nature walk, Darren and Claudia Copley, will address questions about who, or what, is feeding all those birds, and what we can do to support our fine-feathered friends. Join us for this final session as Darren and Claudia reveal the stories of native plant and insect stewardship that is essential to support biodiversity on our Island home.
Lab portion: A final opportunity to explore revealing images of small world and micro-life biodiversity on Salt Spring Island.
