The Nature Conservancy of Canada is compiling a list of Endemic species of plants and animals for Canada. I looked at their site to see which birds were endemic to BC. Here is the list I gathered from the information on their website.

Northern Saw-whet Owl brooksi subspecies (Aegolius acadicus brooksi)
Pacific Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri carlottae)
Queen Charlotte Hairy Woodpecker (Dryobates villosus picoideus)
Northern Pygmy-Owl swarthi subspecies (Glaucidium gnoma swarthi)
Vancouver Island White-tailed Ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura saxatilis)
Queen Charlotte Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator carlottae)
I am sure we saw a Steller's Jay in Haines, Alaska a year ago. It did not sound like our Steller's Jays here in the Fraser Valley, but it sure looked like one.
