This is the Vancouver Natural History Society's Bird Alert for Saturday,
June 14th, sponsored in part by Wild Birds Unlimited, with stores in
Vancouver and North Vancouver.

The feature birds are AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT and
LEAST FLYCATCHERS.

Sightings for Saturday, June 14th

In Pitt Meadows a singing male YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was found in the morning
and was present all day. To find this bird park at the Grant Narrows parking
lot, cross the parking lot and take the dyke trail that parallels the water
west for a quater mile. The bird was in heavy shrubs in this area. This area
is directly across from Wigeon Creek. In the evening 3 AMERICAN WHITE
PELICANS flew into Katzie Marsh. Also seen in the marsh were 14 RING-NECKED
DUCKS and 7 MUTE SWANS. Along the Grant Narrows Dyke trial 2 LEAST
FLYCATCHERS were singing 200m from the start of the trail. Also seen along
the trail were 2 EASTERN KINGBIRDS, 2 GRAY CATBIRDS and 2 BULLOCK'S ORIOLES.
In Pitt Lake were 1 HOODED MERGANSER and 4 RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS.

Thank you for calling the Vancouver Bird Alert & good birding.
