Songs of Birds

A walking tour to explore and discover the wonders of nature.

About Songs of Birds

Beaver Lake, the heart of Stanley Park (Áx̱achu7), located in Vancouver (kemkemulay) is home to countless birds, ducks, plant species and yes . . . beaver. Join Talaysay’s guides and guests for a morning walk to explore and discover the wonder of nature as we share the stories of the land and walk the guided trail of the Beaver Lake wetland. On this 2 km walk your guide and land ambassador will highlight the biodiversity and interconnectedness of plants, the creatures that walk, if not too shy the creatures that crawl and most of all the rich splendor of those who fly including waterfowl, migratory and resident birds.

Just wow! I took copious notes. Her stories were fresh, traditional, uplifting, educational and I had no idea I’d be so enthralled! If you’re in Vancouver and Stanley Park is on your list, don’t miss this experience! You will be better for it.
