A Notice to Northern BC  Birders

Birds Canada will be conducting a survey of the Long-billed Curlew in spring 2022 as part of the process of preparing a COSEWIC status report for the species.  Although a survey was undertaken in the Caribou-Chilcotin region in 2021, there has not been a comprehensive Canada-wide survey this vulnerable bird species since 2005.

The survey will be held between April 15 and May 15, 2002.  Northern BC birders are encouraged to participate.  Details here   

Virtual training will be available for participants. Sign up here
