Spipiyus Art Print

This is the story of mysterious Spipiyus living in the ancient old-growth coastal forests in the Caren Range. When exploring the oceans around Savary, I watched the elegant movement of shoals of fish that make up its food, herring, capelin, and sand lance. Crabs scuttering between seaweed, jellyfish pulsating. Moths and butterflies flutter between a hummingbird that dazzles me with her shot of luminous feathers. This is paradise. A deer gazes over, her eyes gentle and shy. A cougar waits patiently.

Spipiyus is the Sechelt First Nations word for Marbled Murrelet. According to the Sechelt People, this whimsical bird makes people laugh. Even saying its name puts a smile on your face. Without old-growth forests, these amazingly industrious birds are in danger of losing their ancestral nesting sites. If we protect old-growth forests, we can keep these birds safe and keep big smiles on our faces!
