Hi All,

The Central Saanich Bulb Fields remain the place to find Sky Larks, they should be fairly easy to locate.

Good Birding,

When you are coming south on highway 17 from either Swartz Bay or Sidney watch for Mt. Newton Cross Road. Turn right and immediately right again on Central Saanich Rd. Just up the road a ways are the fields across from the large series of greenhouses. There is parking alongside the road. Birder's are o.k. to walk the main roads thru the fields, but be aware of any farming activity. Watch the fields and overhead for displaying Sky Larks. Please do not go out into the fields.
