Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Mount Revelstoke National Park
51.19 N   118.00 W
This 100 square mile park includes snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows. There are 40 miles of hiking trails nut the 16 mile drive up the mountain is best for birders. Late June is the best time to visit.

Vancouver / Reifel Bird Sanctuary / Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
49.10 N   123.08 W
The Reifel sanctuary is a key spot during shorebird migration with many rare species found here. The last Crested Myna, an Asian bird temporarily established here, died in 2003. Northwest Crow is everywhere. Take the ferry across the Strait to Vancouver Island and watch for Sooty Shearwater, Northern Fulmar, Fork-tailed Storm-petrel or a Jaeger. Look for Sky Lark at the south edge of the Victoria International Airport.
