Company fined for cutting Kerrisdale tree with nesting nuthatches, killing chicks

Clay Zhou-Radies was shocked when on one of his visits in May he found the nest and the nuthatches and a couple of northern flickers gone. He reported the incident to Environment Canada, and officers investigated under the Migratory Birds Convention Act.

The “alleged offence” contravened Sec. 5 of the act, which states that it’s a violation to “unlawfully possess a migratory bird,” she said. The fine is listed as $200 and $50 for each additional bird. “They should know this,” said George Clulow, past-president of the B.C. Field Ornithologists. “It is a matter of due diligence on the part of the company or person cutting down the tree.”
