Ultimate British Columbia: Boreal
From: $300 CAD
This short extension to northeastern BC completes the Ultimate British Columbia birding tour! A flight from Vancouver takes us across the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide to a region of the province that shares more birds with areas to the east than the rest of the province.
Here we walk the mixed boreal forests for a number of warblers, including Ovenbird, Magnolia Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Black-and-White Warbler, and more. We also hope to find American Three-toed or Black-backed Woodpecker in the coniferous forests. Upland Sandpiper will also be a target in some of the open areas.
If road and snow conditions allow we will venture to Pink Mountain, an isolated mountain range north of Fort St. John. Here we have the best chance to find Rock Ptarmigan in BC and will look for other tundra species such as Horned Lark and American Pipit. The views across the boreal forest below are also spectacular!
Join us on this exciting tour to another part of this very diverse province!
