Dear members of the birding group of Metro Vancouver area,
I wanted to inform you that Birds Canada organizes a birding event in the Fraser Estuary Important Bird Area on Saturday, November 20th. This exciting annual eBird count is not only important to monitor bird species and abundance in the Fraser Delta, but also to gather the members of the birding community together, either new or experienced birders.
Each one of the 26 zones of the Fraser Delta area is surveyed by a group of birders during that day (see map in the sign-up page), and we traditionally all meet at the end of the day for a conclusion. Bird data are recorded using multiple checklists submitted within the different zones (usually with the eBird app), so that birds are not double counted between different areas. Coffee is offered all day to all participants at the Birds Canada office location in Ladner, Delta.
Please find attached a flyer that you can circulate to interested people. Participants should register on this sign-up page, and will be contacted later on for details about the event:
If you have any questions about the event, feel free to reach me at: rtorrenta@...
Thank you very much for promoting this event, and happy birding to all!
Cheers,
