 Birding Observations Around Viaduct Flats
This species is rapidly declining in British Columbia because of loss of brushy habitat and nest-parasitism by cowbirds.
Breeding of the orioles is suspected, and a nest was found in late June in a fir tree on the southwest side of the lake, but though adults were seen close to it, hatching of young was never confirmed.
It is hoped that the authorities responsible for the management of Viaduct Flats will recognize this and take steps to preserve the wetland habitat of this area and the margins around it which act, so importantly, as a buffer from the rest of suburbia.
