Attention birders:
Bird Studies Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service are looking for
skilled birders to participate in the Breeding Bird Survey - one of the
longest running bird surveys in North America. BBS data provides critical
information on bird population trends, which is becoming even more
important with the newly emerging threat of West Nile Virus. BBS routes
are approximately 39 km long and only need to be surveyed once a year in
June. For those of you participating in the Breeding Bird Atlas, surveying
a BBS route is an excellent way to 'discover' and document new species.
The following routes are available in central Ontario (for map see
http://www.bsc-eoc.org/bbsroutes.html). If you are interested in a
northern Ontario route, please give me a call (toll free:1-888-448-2473) or
send me an email.
