Index of Subjects 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 Nova Scotia Bird Society 445-2922 suzanneborkowski@yahoo.ca --- Gloria Gilbert <turtlevoice@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: --------------------------------- 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!
