Fraser Estuary Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) Bird Count
Details
The annual count of key bird species in the Fraser Estuary Key Biodiversity Area will take place on Sunday November 16th. These bird counts are very valuable for monitoring wintering populations of birds, which helps guide conservation efforts.
Participants spend the day counting birds in designated areas in Tsawwassen, Delta and Richmond, focusing on key species (mainly waterfowl and raptors). Here is a link to a map of the count areas.
To register or for more information, contact Remi Torrenta of Birds Canada at rtorrenta@birdscanada.org
If you have never counted birds before, David Sibley's website has an excellent course on how to estimate numbers when confronted with large flocks.
Note: this is NOT a Nature Vancouver event and a meetup RSVP does NOT register you to participate in the count. You MUST contact Remi to register.
