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!
