Birders

An interesting discussion about a location many Birders are familiar with.
I will admit to having no issues or encounters with security or resource
officers over the many years birding the area. Have noticeable restrictions
increased?
For extended time spent birding near the river (CBC), I obtained a Natural
Resource Pass which was placed on the vehicle dashboard.
That area was always the go-to location for seeking a calling Swamp
Sparrow. Congrats on the in-the-sun photo of this furtive Sparrow.
