Photos: Richmond residents revel in migratory bird watching

A dancing heron and a singing crow dazzled Richmond families in Terra Nova on Saturday.

Richmondites of all ages enjoyed a fun day out in Terra Nova watching migratory birds pass through the Pacific Flyway on Saturday.

Guided bird walks along the West Dyke Trail and crafts for children were some of the activities community members enjoyed during the Migratory Bird Fly By event on Oct. 21.

Young Richmondites also enjoyed learning about soil, water bugs and birds through interactive displays by Save Soil and Birds Canada.

The most popular attraction, however, was the puppet karaoke, which featured puppets of all sizes, including a heron, singing along to popular tunes including “YMCA” and “Gangnam Style” with the help of children at the event.

The Migratory Bird Fly By event was hosted by Richmond Nature Park Society with funds from the City of Richmond’s Neighbourhood Celebration Grant.
