Hi all,

Bird Studies Canada and Nature Conservancy of Canada invite you to join us
for the 5th Annual "Wild for Waterfowl" count in the Port Joli area.   We
need a team to count coastal waterbirds from Port Mouton Bay to Sable River
within the South Shore (Port Joli Sector) Important Bird Area and Migratory
Bird Sanctuaries!

Date: Sunday, November 24 (Alternate foul weather date to be Saturday,
November 23)
Time: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
Lunch will be provided to registered participants (see below for info about
registration).

Nature Conservancy of Canada, Bird Studies Canada, and the Harrison Lewis
Centre are holding the 5th Annual Wild for Waterfowl event within the Port
Joli Important Bird Area (IBA) to survey waterfowl, other waterbirds and
coastal habitats within the IBA and and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries. This
event has grown each year and is always a fun day for beginner and expert
'waterfowlers' to come together and learn about different coastal birds and
habitats, and contribute to monitoring and collaborative conservation
efforts in the region.  All data from the count will be accessible to the
public through eBird.ca and shared with Canadian Wildlife Service's Migratory
Bird Sanctuary managers and the Canadian IBA Program (www.ibacanada.ca).

Anyone with an interest in coastal birds is welcome, including beginner
birders and families. Prior to the count, at the Harrison Lewis Centre, we
will provide an overview of common bird species, instructions, and the IBA
boundaries. Each group will be accompanied by at least one experienced
birder to assist with identification and documenting observations.
Binoculars and spotting scopes available if needed.

To register as a participant please fill out your name and info at NCC's
