Instructions for Entries
Join Larry Cowan for a birding trip to Coquitlam's Deboville Slough / Minnekhada Regional Park. Osprey, hummingbirds, and swallows should be back on their breeding grounds. Spring migrants will also be moving through the area and with luck we should catch a glimpse of Sandhill Crane, Red Crossbills, Band-tailed Pigeon or Western Meadowlark. We have averaged over 40+ species on this outing with a high of 51 in 2002. Meet the leader at the parking area at Victoria & Cedar Drives in Port Coquitlam at 0900. Several vehicles will be positioned in the Minnekhada gravel parking lot off Quarrie Rd. for the return trip. 604 465-1402
