Since 2004, the Cortes Island Museum has been organizing Spring Migration Birding events. This year we again invite everyone to participate individually or with a group you feel comfortable with. No registration is necessary.

Record the bird species sighted in your backyards, bird feeders, gardens, and neighbourhoods. No need to count individual birds. You can include any additional species observed on May 6 and May 8. Email your list of species to cimas@twincomm.ca.

We will combine all observations and post them, as usual, on our website.

For easy reference, download here the list of commonly seen Cortes Island birds, Spring Field List (pdf). A printed copy is also available at the Museum, if you would like to come and pick it up.

Please take pictures; especially if you happen to observe a rare species these are necessary. We will be happy to post them on our website.

Keep your eye open for butterflies. Check out our page Butterfly Sightings on Cortes Island for more information. Report butterflies you spot, even if they are already on our list.
