Nature Guides B.C.
Welcome to Nature Guides BC
Nature Guides BC is a small publishing and writing company based in British
Columbia, Canada. We have books on Boundary Bay and the Fraser River
Estuary, (near Vancouver) and on the Okanagan. Our goal is to encourage
interest in nature and conservation, especially in areas undergoing rapid
urbanisation.
Late Spring in British Columbia
This is a beautiful time of year on Canada's West Coast, with plenty to observe
in the natural world. While the shorebird migration has moved through, warblers,
vireos and flycatchers are still arriving for the summer. Sea lions, seals,
porpoises and whales can be spotted in the ocean. Freshwater marshes are
alive with frogs, songbirds, otters and beavers. As the snow melts from the
mountain tops, rivers run full and flooding can be a hazard. Bears, deer and
other large mammals are active and can be seen at dawn and dusk, so take
care while driving the back roads.
Contact Nature Guides BC for more information on observing nature in B.C.
Many organizations and ecotourism operators run trips to see local wildlife.
Check out the News and Events page for time and location of
nature and birding talks, walks, and other activities, in and around
Boundary Bay.
