EagleWatch Volunteers
With Squamish Environment Society
The Squamish River Area is identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) - “places of international significance for the conservation of birds and biodiversity”, IBA Canada.
As the salmon return to spawn the eagles return to the Squamish River and SES are looking for volunteers to help with the count. This is a long-term project that runs from November - January and there are many shifts available to support this project.
“EagleWatching involves walking along the Eagle Run dike for 30-60 minutes counting bald eagles that are perched in trees, feeding on salmon from the sand bars, or soaring in the sky above. Eagle Run is an accessible gravel pathway. Public parking is available as well as public transportation.”
Location: Eagle Run dike on Government Road in Brackendale
Time: Counts run twice daily and are 1-hour shifts, for more information and to sign up, head to the Squamish Environment Society website.
