Investigation: Migration!
Every spring, several million birds migrate to the Fraser River estuary. Some are just stopping over on their way further north, and some stick around for the summer. From gulls to sandpipers, eagles to plovers, many species of birds rely on the Fraser watershed as a source of food and shelter. Birds are a key part of the amazing biodiversity that exists along the mighty Fraser River.
Look no feather to investigate some bird species and discover how human impacts can affect their survival in this month’s Super Weekend!
