Hi all,

If you're a nature watcher who enjoys waterfowl, please come out and help
us with our 3rd Annual Migratory Waterfowl Count in the Port Joli area on
26 November or 27 November (rain date) at 10 am.

*Why count waterfowl?** * We will be collecting information on the
abundance and distribution of coastal waterfowl in the Port Joli area,
which has been designated as an Important Bird Area for migrating and
wintering waterfowl. The data will also be shared with Environment Canada
to help inform their management of the Port Joli, Sable River, and Port
l'Hebert Migratory Bird Sanctuaries. Last year we observed 12 species of
diving and dabbling waterfowl and many other interesting birds.

*Who's organizing?*  Bird Studies Canada and Nature Conservancy Canada in
partnership with the Harrison Lewis Centre.
*
What's involved?** * Beginners and families are welcome! We'll start with a
short waterfowl identification workshop and we'll have a few experienced
observers to help, so no experience necessary. There will be a mix of
driving and walking to reach different waterfowl observations sites. Picnic
lunch will be provided by Nature Conservancy Canada. Bring binoculars or
spotting scopes if you have them, but we'll have some optics to share.

*How do I sign up?*  Please visit Nature Conservancy Canada's volunteer
site (

OR contact me (Sue Abbott) at 426-4055 or nsplovers@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Sue Abbott
