Birds of Burnaby Lake

Join the Burnaby Lake Park Association and discover the Birds of Burnaby Lake!

DATE: Sunday, May 29th
TIME: 11:00 am to 3:00 pm
PLACE: in front of the Burnaby Lake Nature House / Piper Spit

Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a top birding destination located right in the middle of Metro Vancouver. Situated on the Pacific Flyway migratory route, it is an ideal resting and refueling spot for many species of birds on their migration north and south. The temperate climate makes it a popular wintering spot for northern species as well as home for several year round species. Up to 200 different species have been spotted throughout the year – right in the centre of a bustling metropolis.

Learn about:

  • Birds you can see and hear at Burnaby Lake,
  • Our long time nest box program for cavity nesters,
  • What to plant in your garden to attract birds,
  • How to use the latest apps to help you on your birding journey or
  • Register for a guided birding outing – with spring migration in full swing, this is a great time to see both seasonal visitors and local year-round species.
