Next Hike - Beach BBQ update

I am still birdwatching on Vancouver Island. Here is Pam's note to everyone interested in taking in part or all of the activities this Saturday.

The Spring Raven Bay BBQ and Oyster Bake is coming up!

Date: Saturday, April 3, 2010

Place: Raven Bay

Bring: Chairs (There are some logs to sit on) and BYOB

Food: There will be oysters or clams. If you don't like oysters or clams, bring hot dogs or veggie dogs to roast over the fire or whatever you wish to eat or share with friends.

How we get there: Hikers meet at the Legion in Van Anda and walk to Raven Bay (2 1/2 hours). There are several shortcuts, if you don't want to do the full hike

We have permission to hike through the Imperial and the LaFarge Quarry on April 3rd.

If you are unable to hike right now, used to hike or are spouses/partners/visitors of Trekkers, you are welcomel You can park at the junction to the Raven Bay turnoff on the High Road. If you need a lift, please contact David Taylor. Hikers are expected at Raven Bay between 12:00 noon and 12:30 pm. Raven Bay road is only suitable for 4 wheel drive vehicles.

If you want to go early and collect oysters, bring rubber boots and your current Saltwater Licenses.

After the BBQ/Oyster Bake, those who drove down to the Bay will take the drivers and those who are unable to walk back to their vehicles in Van Anda or on the High Road.

Please contact: David Taylor, (604) 486-7659, if you are going to the BBQ or if you require more information. David needs numbers to estimate the number of oysters and clams to collect.

Yesterday, while checking out the Brant geese at Deep Bay, I was surprised to find a very handsome european swan [called the Mute Swan in UK even though they do make a noise sometimes when flying] hanging out with them for a while.
