Manning Park is home to a wide variety of birds and animals. There
are 206 separate species of birds and 63 species of mammals within
the park. The Spotted Owl is at risk in British Columbia, because
much of its preferred habitat has been adversely affected by logging
or lost due to land development. These rare birds are known to
occur within Manning Park and a management plan to conserve Spotted
Owl in the Manning and Skagit Valley areas is underway
JUNE 20-22, 2008 - BIRD BLITZ
The Manning Park “Bird Blitz” is a fun event for expert and novice birders alike. The Bird Blitz begins on Friday evening with registration at Loneduck Campground. On Saturday, after a full day of birding, participants will return to a barbecue with buns and salads, (bring your own protein!). After dinner, birders will meet around the campfire for a quick run-through of the day’s sightings, followed by a guest speaker. Sunday morning is another opportunity to cover those areas missed on Saturday.
