It’s pretty evident that we humans are not the only ones enjoying the unseasonably warm weather this late winter.  The birds have also become are very lively and vocal.

Many of the year-round residents have already established territories and are calling to attract mates.   During the first half of March our early migrants, including American Robins, Dark-eyed Juncos, Killdeer, Purple Finch, Varied Thrush and Mountain Bluebirds begin to arrive.

With that in mind, it may be time to head to the Willowvale (or Soravale) wetland behind Canadian Tire in Smithers to get an early start on this year’s birding. Learning to identify birdsongs and calls is so much easier when done step-by-step as the migratory species accumulate.

Here is a Willowvale – Soravale Wetland Bird Checklist, compiled by Mel Coulson last year.

There are always new species being reported from the wetland. In fact, since he produced this list last summer, Mel has seen a Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus), a very cool species that should be added to the list.

If you encounter any species not on the list, please notify us at info(at) bvnaturalists.ca so that we can produce an update.  A photo or audiofile to confirm your sighting is appreciated, if available.  Copies of Mel’s Birds of the Bulkley Valley CD are also available through the club.
