"They chortle. In a musical sort of way," he says.
Thundery weather when warm air is forced down is a good time to try to spot them here, he says. "You'll get a lot of ospreys and martins near the ponds' surface."Purple martins - birds once heading for extinction on the B.C. coast as their nesting habitat was wiped out - are one of the celebrated success stories of Maplewood.When the first campaigns to save the birds were started in the late 1980s and early 1990s, volunteers from Maplewood built several hundred nest boxes and put them up on posts and pilings in the inlet. Within two years, the first purple martins came back to nest. Today, there are between 70 and 80 pairs nesting here.Along with the purple martins, the ospreys also returned last month, and have built a nest out on one of the pilings.
A white head sticks up from the nest from time to time, then disappears, framed by fluffy brown wings."I've always thought it would be nice if you could talk to them," said Al Grass, a naturalist who has been leading nature walks for the public at Maplewood for more than a dozen years. "Ask them where they've been. . . ."Gone from Burrard Inlet since the early part of the last century - driven out by hunting, habitat destruction, and environmental pollution that weakened their eggs - the osprey returned to the mudflats in the early 1990s."These ospreys returned as if they'd received an email for the first time in 50 or 60 years," said Bell."We're always waiting for the return of the osprey," said Grass.
