--001a1144847af1c967054078d6ab Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi all, Bird Studies Canada, Nature Conservancy of Canada and Harrison Lewis Centre invite you to join us for the 8th 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 Port Joli Important Bird Area ( http://www.ibacanada.ca/site.jsp?siteID=NS004) and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries. Date: Saturday, 19 November 2016 (weather permitting) Time: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM Lunch will be provided to registered participants (registration link provided below). Details: The Port Joli Wild for Waterfowl event will 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 to enjoy birds, learn about coastal bird diversity 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. We will meet at the Harrison Lewis Centre where we will provide an overview of common bird species, instructions, and the IBA boundaries and give out lunches. Will will break up into teams with at least one experienced birder to assist with identification and documenting observations. Binoculars and spotting scopes available if needed.
