Wild Pond Lane Bird Yard List


989 Wild Pond Lane Bird Yard List

We moved into our new home at the Valley View Estates in Happy Valley, Langford (Victoria, BC) on July 1, 2013. I have been keeping track of the bird species by sight and sound. After amassing a remarkable 83 species at our previous home at Shawnigan Lake (and after only 10 months), I expected it to take a long time to get anywhere near to that total for here on Wild Pond. Needless to say, I am pleased to report that we have now tallied 93 species here! I further anticipate that the ponds next to us continue to attract a rarity or two during migration.

I have recorded the bird list in order of their appearance/record (not taxonomically).

Stay tuned for updates!
