About your Bird Guide

Hi, my name is Vinci (礎均) and I’m a researcher (基因研究員) at the University of British Columbia. My family immigrated from Hong Kong to the very different landscape of Vancouver in the late 80’s. As a young child, my grandfather would often take me on trail walks near our home in Richmond. On those walks, he would point out all the little birds flitting in the branches above or scurrying in the bushes beside us. We may not have known all the names of the birds then, but I deeply appreciated those moments we shared walking and watching together. Since then I’ve had the good fortune of birding with really enthusiastic and knowledgeable local birders/scientists. I think everyone should have an opportunity to bird in community, and I’m excited to introduce you to the birds hidden in plain sight.

Birding with Me is a part of the Vancouver Bird Celebration and organized collaboratively by Stanley Park Ecology Society, Canadian Wildlife Service, Birds Canada, and the BC Bird Trail. Thank you so much to the Port of Vancouver for funding this series.

We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and help steward is the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
