The best book for birding the Vancouver area is published by the Vancouver
Natural History Society and is called something like "A birdfinding guide
to the Vancouver area". You can order it from the society by sending a
money order for $13 Canadian ($11 + $2 postage) made out to the society
to: Daphne Solecki, 3672 W. 1st Ave., Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6R 1H2.
For pelagic birding information (BC pelagic trips are done from the west
coast of Vancouver Island, usually from Ucluelet) call Swiftsure Tours in
Victoria at (604) 388-4227.

The Vancouver RBA number is (604)737-9910. If you want further
information, call or e-mail me directly.
