Hello Gloria;

The Nova Scotia Bird Society Website has a list of
birders representing every region of the province
along with their contact info.

We have quite a few expert birders, some of whom
voluntarily show visiting birders around, free of
charge.  We also have some professional birding tour
guides: Blake Maybank (a link to his website is on our
website); Joan Czapalay, Bethsheila Kent (for Cape
Breton) and Fulton Lavender to name a few.

The Nova Scotia Department of Tourism is well aware of
our organization.  We even have a representative who
serves as our official link with NS Tourism.  This
year they bought a supply of our birding checklists to
put in their information centres.  

Unfortunately, not all the info we offer NS Tourism
seems to reach the individual tourist bureaus. 
However; if a visiting birder "Googles"  Nova
Scotia/birds they will be directed to our website:

http://nsbs.chebucto.org

Blake Maybank has written a book:  "Birding Sites of
Nova Scotia"  which is available in Book Stores and
online at Chapters and at Amazon.  Clarence Stevens'
book:  "Birding Metro Halifax"  is also in book
stores.

If you can think of anything else we (The Bird
Society) can do to promote birding in Nova Scotia -
please let me know.


Cheers;

Suzanne Borkowski
President

Recently the owner of a local tourist accomodation
called 3 tourist informationcenters, asking for a
Birding Guide for her guests. No-one was able torefer
her to a birder in the area who was willing to show
them the birdinghot spots.
If we want Bird Watching to bring more tourists to NS,
it might be helpfulfor the Information Centers to have
a contact list for Guides. It wouldbe good to do this
on a province-wide basis, but in the meantime, if
youare willing to be a Guide, please make sure that
your local Tourism Centerhas your name and phone
number.
Thanks!
Gloria
