John Hendry Park (Trout Lake)

An urban wetland surrounded by forest, this popular Vancouver park is host to over 170 species of bird throughout the year. If visiting during the migration season, larger migrants such as Trumpeter Swans and American Pelicans may be spotted, while spring brings forth flocks of songbirds returning to the area to nest. Summer time yields a number of waterfowl on the lake, and fall again brings forth a flurry of migrants passing through. Wading birds are often sighted in the area, with Long-billed Dowitcher, Wilson’s Snipe and Green Heron being spotted in recent years.
