Somenos Marsh is a rich and diverse wetland complex lying at the geographic, demographic, and economic centre of the Cowichan Valley. It is an area of exceptional bird, fish and other wildlife and ecosystems values within the Somenos Marsh Conservation Area, formerly known as the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Refuge. The continued existence and functioning of its wetland ecosystems are a testimony to the passion and determination of so many individuals who, for more than two decades, have worked together to preserve it through the activities of the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society.

Derrick Marven, February 01, 2012 Hi all naturalists
This weeks count was attended by 6 counters and the weather gods smiled upon us today with clear skies and moderately nice temperatures. The count this week saw numbers similar to last weeks with a rise in Canada Geese and amazingly the same number of immature Trumpeters. |

Derrick Marven, January 11, 2012 Hi, Birders
The day started with 7 birders meeting at the dog park, one was sent packing as he had a nasty cold, didn't want him contaminating the van.
With senior Derrick away counting Zebras and Hippopotumi, Peggy had the honors of driving us around our route and what a wonderful job she made of it, getting round in almost record time, thanks Peggy.

Derrick Marven, January 11, 2012 Hi, Birders This week saw a major infusion of birds but a lack of counters. The day started at the dog park with just myself and Daryl, so 10:00am came around and we started to pull out just as Sheila was pulling in. The three of us then left and started the count with a few Geese here and there and with a lot of Somenos Marsh frozen. The mated pair of Mute Swans were still on the DU (Ducks Unlimited) pond as this has yet to freeze. Onwards to Somenos Lake where right behind us pulled up Bob who clearly needs a new alarm clock, yes we will have a whip round next week for him. Thankfully the lake was loaded with birds so a great count was had with 200 swans and just under 350 geese. |
