Book Description
Proceedings of a symposium that reviewed what is currently known about the west coast of Vancouver Island, with particular emphasis on birds. Papers cover the physical and biological environment, including the physical oceanography of the west coast of Vancouver Island; the population and breeding ecology of marine and shoreline birds; the distribution of marine and shoreline birds at sea, including bird populations and their habitats offshore, in fjords, in estuaries and over eelgrass bed; and oil pollution and conservation of marine and shoreline birds, including the effects of oil from the NESTUCCA oil spill on marine birds, the effects of environmental disturbances, and conservation measures necessary to protect marine birds.

The Great Blue Heron
Author: Robert William ButlerPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 9780774806343
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
With its striking plumage, the great blue heron is one of the most widely recognized wading birds in North America. Riding on kelp beds in the Queen Charlotte Islands, wading in coastal streams along the mainland, poised motionless at the water's edge on a misty morning, or nesting in the limbs of old-growth forests, this stately bird is a familiar sight on the coast of British Columbia. The largest colonies are on the Fraser River delta, an area of great ecological significance to the north Pacific. Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding many aspects of the species' breeding biology and courtship behaviour, the foraging and population ecology of this bird remains something of an enigma. In his beautifully illustrated book, Robert Butler follows the great blue heron through a year on the coast of British Columbia. He draws on more than a decade of work to throw light on the adaptability of this magnificent bird to a temperate climate, its diet and breeding habits, habitat use, and conservation. Although the great blue heron has become a symbol of wetland conservation, in recent years it has had to face new challenges as a consequence of rapid urbanization of its environment. In The Great Blue Heron the author also describes the B.C. coast and shares a vision for the conservation of the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River delta.
