Thank you for directing me to The Dereila Nature Inn. Lovely site. Beautiful photos. I have been to many of those parks on the special places page. I feel reminiscent to see photos of familiar sights.
It was a little too much about the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. It was interesting, but I only watched the first 3 episodes. Have a look at the link to Special Places that we have photographed and added to our main site, The Dereila Nature Inn. I...

Yes, it was certainly very exciting. I returned to the same area this summer - but not sign of the fox, I'm afraid.

Got your request about places to bird and places to tent.
We live on Saltspring Island and this time of the year it is peak season for visitors. However if you're looking to tent I would assume that Ruckle Park would be best. The setting is very beautiful......on the ocean with views of Pender Island, Saturna and the Orca's.
It can be quite crowded this time of the year and is a long way from the shops and town.......about ten minutes but for here that's a long way.
I'll enquire about how to go about getting a campsite etc tomorrow so get back to me and tell me if you're interested.
As for birding, we have all sorts of places.........fields/grasslands, ocean sides, lakes and mountain spots. If you want I can get hold of our local ornithological society and you can chat with them.
If you guys are game you can take a zodiac out to check out the Orcas in the channels....this is a totally fabulous experience.

Ruckle park is also mentioned here.
As for the other Islands I don't know much since each Island is like another world. One way or the other you'll love the Gulf Islands.
so get back to me and we can work on something if you're interested.
