C. Reifel Bird Sanctuary - the official source for maps,
Delta's Westham Island, 10 kilometres west of Ladner. The sanctuary is a resting place for thousands of migratory birds on their way south to warmer places in fall and their way back in spring. With three kilometres of hiking trails and a nature house, there is much to see--and hear-- all year long. More than 1.5 million birds pass through here annually (240 species have been spotted)! You may want to check out the Bird View Guest House Bed and Breakfast for a great place to stay while visiting the sanctuary. Another site on the Sanctuary. And another site. ....George
