  • Coastal Waterbird Population Trends in the Strait of Georgia 1999–2011: Results from the First 12 Years of the British Columbia Coastal Waterbird Survey
    8 Coastal waterbird trends - Crewe et al. Coastal waterbird population trends in the Strait of Georgia 1999–2011: Results from the first 12 years of the British Columbia Coastal Waterbird Survey Tara Crewe1, Karen Barry2, Pete Davidson2,3, Denis Lepage1 1 Bird Studies Canada - National Headquarters, PO Box. 160, Port Rowan, Ont. N0E 1M0 2 Bird Studies Canada – British Columbia Program, 5421 Robertson Road, RR1, Delta, B.C. V4K 3N2; e-mail: [email protected] 3 Corresponding author Abstract: The British Columbia Coastal Waterbird Survey is a citizen science long-term monitoring program implemented by Bird Studies Canada to assess population trends and ecological needs of waterbirds using the province’s coastal and inshore marine habitats. Standard monthly counts from more than 200 defined sites within the Strait of Georgia were analysed using route-regression techniques to estimate population indices and assess trends in 57 waterbird species over a 12-year period spanning the non-breeding periods from 1999–2000 to 2010–11. A power analysis was also conducted to validate the rigor of the survey design. Results indicate that the survey is detecting annual changes of 3% or less for populations of 29 waterbirds of a wide variety of guilds. Thirty-three species showed stable populations or no trend, 22 species showed significantly declining trends, and just three species showed significant increasing trends. We evaluate these results in the context of other long-term monitoring initiatives in the Salish Sea, highlighting specific birds to watch from a conservation perspective. Among those that showed a declining trend were a guild of piscivores, including Western and Horned Grebes, Common, Red-throated and Pacific Loons, and Rhinoceros Auklet; several sea ducks (Black and White-winged Scoters, Long-tailed Duck, Barrow’s Goldeneye, Harlequin Duck); two shorebirds (Dunlin, Surfbird); and Great Blue Heron.

Since the mid-1990s, the frequency and intensity of human-cougar interactions have dramatically increased. Concurrently, these areas have become increasingly popular for human activities. The primary goal of my study was to recommend ways to reduce the potential risk of human-cougar interactions to ensure long-term conservation of cougars while minimizing risks to visitor safety.

After 25 years as a B.C. Parks interpreter, he came to Parks Canada at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve in 2002, where he continued working as a park interpreter until his premature death in 2006. Doug’s awe of the wild world only increased as his knowledge and understanding of it deepened. While his irrepressible sense of humour ensured that we often laughed while learning, he took his responsibility as an educator very seriously indeed. Our ability to experience the natural world was enhanced when we could see it through Dougie’s eyes. This was his gift; he made us see. And thanks to him, we remember.

  • Winter Quarters by George Davidson This Work by American George Davidson Is One a Series of Paintings in the Museum Collections at the Oregon Historical Society
    Winter Quarters By George Davidson This work by American George Davidson is one a series of paintings in the museum collections at the Oregon Historical Society. Davidson produced the paintings in the mid 1790s upon his return to Boston from a fur trading voyage to the Northwest Coast (1790 - 1793). Davidson was a housepainter and occasional artist when he joined the second fur trade expedition of Captain Robert Gray in late September 1790. Gray’s Columbia Rediviva made the voyage from Boston to the Northwest Coast in eight months, arriving at Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island in early June 1791. The expedition passed the summer months trading with the various aboriginal groups up and down the coast. In September 1791, Gray established a “winter quarters” on Clayoquot Sound. He named the wintering site “Adventure Cove” and referred to their encampment as “Fort Defiance.” In the 1970s, historians and archeologists identified the fort’s original location on Meares’ Island. Davidson’s painting depicts the scene at Adventure Cove after the construction of the sloop Adventure, which first mate Robert Haswell would later use for trading along the west coast of Vancouver Island in the spring of 1792. The painting features the Columbia at anchor with her topmasts removed, as well as what appears to be a self-portrait of Davidson showing his illustration of the scene to Captain Gray. In contrast to the illustration Launch of the North West America from John Meares narrative of 1790 in which Native people are prominent, in Davidson’s painting the local indigenous people, the Tla-o-qui-at (Clayoquot), are notable for their absence.
