Xmas Bird Count Pender Harbour

With the Pender Harbour Wildlife Society

“Join a group of volunteers as they undertake the annual count and gather valuable data as citizen scientists.

The Christmas Bird Count is a one-day census of all birds wintering in the Pender Harbour area, specifically within a 24-km radius circle that extends from Middlepoint in the South to Captain’s Island in the North, and from the Bjerre Shoals (Malaspina Strait) in the West to Storm Bay (Sechelt Inlet) in the East. For counting, this complex area of land, sea and numerous lakes is broken up into smaller areas, each of which is allocated to a group of counters. We plan to have at least six expert-led crews, three of which will spend part of the day on boats.

Bring binoculars or spotting scope if you have them. Lunch and warm clothes are recommended as participants will be outdoors. In other words, dress for the weather!

All registrations and other enquiries should be directed to me by email: johnfield307@gmail.com or phone: 604-883-2807.”
