My wife and I will be visiting the Vancouver and Victoria areas the last
week of May and have been considering taking one of the 3 hr whale watching
tours out of Victoria. While the whale watching would be the main focus,
we're wondering how worthwhile the birding might be on this type of tour.
Would we see birds that we wouldn't see on the ferry trip between Vancouverand
Vancouver Island? Also, since there seems to be quite a number of tour
operators, can anyone recommend a particular tour operator that might be
a better choice for birders?
Thanks,
