For bird lovers & naturalists, recent steps have been taken to protect the nesting cliffs of Peregrine
falcons & cormorants next door to Jarvis House.
Peregrins are normally found in open spaces that are usually
associated with high cliffs and bluffs overlooking rivers and coasts,
the nests are twigs made on the bare rock of a cliff. The bird will lay two
to four eggs and are listed as an endangered species. Over 130 species
of birds reside on Galiano Island.
Your hosts, the Jarvis', have lived on Galiano for 25 years.
The "bakery suite" was the bakery started by Jenny in 1984. Islanders used to
sit and
enjoy coffee & pastries on the deck over looking Trincomali Channel, hence the
name "Trincomali Bakery". Both have worked in the film industry for many years and
know the importance of good food.
