Eco
Tours
We

opportunities of the Steller's and California sea lions amongst
numerous other wildlife species. Species thrive undisturbed in their
rich, natural habitats.
Let
yourself be awe inspired on a 2 hour trip starting just West of the
Gulf of Georgia cannery and Steveston’s village itself yield large
numbers of dabbling ducks such as widgeon, golden eye, swans merganser
and the chance of bitterns, a notoriously hard bird to see. Over 24
species of duck have been seen here.
While admiring the
scenic beauty of the rugged coastline of the Strait of Georgia, be
transported to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary situated
on Westham Island, just west of the community of Ladner in the
Municipality of Delta, British Columbia, Canada. It consists of nearly
300 hectares (850 acres) of managed wetlands, natural marshes and low
dikes in the heart of the Fraser River Estuary.
The
establishment of the Sanctuary has helped preserve this valuable
habitat for millions of birds passing through this part of the Pacific
coast during their annual migrations. Our most famous resident has to
be the Bald Eagle! There are up to 15 total species of raptor (Birds of
prey, including owls which are a popular draw) and some quite rare
sightings such as Black-crowned night heron and sandhill crane.
