1 SEASONAL CHECKLIST BIRDS OF GREATER VANCOUVER, BC Rev. August/2013 Seasonal Status Page 1

2 AREA COVERED Greater Vancouver from the International Boundary (including Point Roberts, WA) North to ' N West to the eastern shoreline of Howe Sound (including Bowen Island) and to the middle of the Strait of Georgia. East to ' W (260th St. in Langley and Maple Ridge) including all of Golden Ears Provincial Park. THE CHECKLIST This checklist is divided into two parts: a list of 267 regularly occurring species (reported annually), and a list of 140 casual and accidental species (not reported every year). For the regular species we present bar graphs indicating the seasonal occurrence and relative abundance of each. For the casual and accidental species because not all sightings have been critically reviewed, we cannot say exactly how many sightings there are for each. Therefore we have indicated for each season whether the species is accidental (1 or 2 records) or casual (3 or more records), without indicating dates for individual sightings. Checklist Committee: Wayne Weber (chair), Brian Self, Larry Cowan & Jude Grass Original Computer design by Tom Brown, Kyle Elliott & Rick Toochin. Modified 2013 by Larry Cowan.
