I'm sending this email to let you know about the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and the need for additional participants to complete survey routes here in BC.

Information on the BBS can be found and a brief summary of why this survey is important is provided below.

There is a route vacancy map and you can contact WIllow English, the National Coordinator for Canada, at bbs@... or 343-573-1192 for further information.?

I've run a route for a number of years and it's a great way to get outside and have fun while keeping your birding skills sharp and contributing to an important monitoring and conservation program for birds across North America.

All the best,

Greg Ferguson

BBS data is vital for avian conservation

The BBS is the most important source of reliable data on population trends for many species in Canada. Environment Climate Change Canada is working on a new website on the State of Canada’s Birds in partnership with Birds Canada, which will showcase BBS data for many species and will be launched later this year. The site will feature accessible information on population numbers and trends. BBS data have also been used for highly impactful studies, such as from North America in the last 50 years. The trends produced by BBS data are also considered when assessing whether a species should be listed as a Species at Risk. Combining BBS trends with information on landscape and habitat changes has also provided the basis for conservation actions and habitat preservation. These are only a few of the many ways your volunteer efforts are vital to avian conservation. If you would like to know more, .
