Birding Regions

British Columbia has many birding regions, each of which can be further broken down into sub-regions and areas.

From Vancouver Island (north, central, south, and west), the inner coast, Vancouver and the Fraser valley, the Okanagan valley with its pocket deserts, the south central Cariboo plateau, the mountains and valleys through the Thompson-Nicola area, the towering Rocky Mountains bordering Alberta to the east, the rugged Skeena and remote north west corner, Haida Gwaii and the north coast, Prince George and north central BC, and north western flatlands in the Peace River area.
