It was a bit cold and windy out this morning, but we were treated to a flock of sandpipers feeding in the mud, a rainbow and a Wilson's warbler who refused to be photographed.

2020 Squamish EagleWatch Update: Due to the pandemic, there will not be a public presence at the Eagle Run viewing area this year for EagleWatch. The good news is that there will still be eagles to see! We invite all eagle-lovers to visit Eagle Run, where there is lots of educational information, as well as gorgeous views of the eagles along the Squamish River. The best time to see the eagles is in the morning, from now until early January, and binoculars are always a great w...ay to see the eagles even closer. We will be conducting daily counts on the dike and will be posting these numbers on our Facebook page and our website, so you can check in to see how the eagles are doing! Here are directions to the Eagle Run viewing area: https://goo.gl/maps/ScaxvB76JinpEXyW7 Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you on the dike in 2021!
If you are driving to Mt Currie please slow down after the Plateau...there are too many dead birds to count for about a km in the winding section! SLOW DOWN an...d HONK your horn when there are flocks of pine siskins picking sand off the road, or they will not move in time. If coming from Mt Currie start watching for them after North Arm. Thank you See more
Here’s an interesting season update! Yesterday morning we had our second highest count of the season with a total of 41 Eagles! 33 adults and 8 juveniles were... observed along the dyke by volunteers Rae and Ursula. Our highest total so far this season was a total of 44 Eagles two weeks ago. Over the span of the last few weeks we have been hovering around an average of 15-25 Eagles a day. So far we are having a better season in regards to Eagles being around and counted from the dyke than last season. Last November 30th we spotted only 14 Eagles and last season we didn’t have a single total over 30 Eagles during our weekend counts. It’s both interesting and important to compare the monitoring data over the years! Our daily count totals can be viewed at: https://www.squamishenvironment.ca/eaglewatch-daily-count-/ : Jason Bremner 2017
BRACKENDALE WINTER EAGLE COUNT UPDATE: The 2021 Eagle Count will take place on January 3. Because of the pandemic, we are limiting volunteers this year to those who have participated in the past, and who can conduct the count in groups within their own social bubble. If you would like to volunteer again, please contact Christopher Di Corrado at: [email protected]

Squamish estuary bear update: The mother bear and cub remain in the area and are accessing natural food. This family continues to need your help. You can offer protection by respecting the trail closure and staying away from this area
Use care when decorating for Halloween. Items like fake spider webbing can be harmful to birds and other wildlife.
Estuary trails are closed. Please respect the closures for animal and human safety. It’s also important to respect wildlife. Sometimes there are surprise encounters, but when you have a chance to give animals space and peace, please do. Injured people, relocated animals or shot animals are all unfortunate outcomes of bad human-animal encounters. ... https://www.facebook.com/districtofsquamish/posts/3155882824516222
