Just over 1,900 customers were without power in the Duncan/North Cowichan- South End/Maple Bay areas Friday morning and a bird is to blame. According to B.C. Hydro’s website, a bird contacting wires was responsible for the outage. Customers were without power between 8:15 a.m. to 9:20 a.m.
Electricity has since been restored.
