NORTH SHORE TAB
3ird counters sought

IF YOU feed wild birds in your
garden, the Vancouver Natural
History Society needs you to par-
ticipate in the 87th annual one-day
Audubon Christmas Bird Count.

On Sunday, Dec. 20, feeder-
watchers can participate by coun-
ting the numbers and species of
birds that visit their feeders and
gardens that day only.

The bird count began in New
England as an alternative to hun-
ting during the holidays and has
spread across the continent. Or-
nithologists use the results to
determine any drastic changes in
species population numbers, both
locally and internationally.

Depending on where they live,
North Shore residents may spot
between 10 and 20 bird species in
their yards. Sonie birds like the
dark-vyed junco are found

throughout the North Shore,
others like the red-breasted
nuthatch may be found only near
stands of old-growth Douglas fir.

Those interested in participating
can use a form that lists common
garden birds found in winter on
the North Shore. The list is
available at the Lynn Canyon
Ecology Centre, 3663 Park Rd. in
North Vancouver. To get a list or
for further information about the
bird count, bird identification or
types of ‘feed for different. bird
species, contact Kevin Bell at the
ecology centre, 987-5922.

Anyone with knowledge of the
location of an eagle’s nest can also
help the ecology centre in its
survey of the number of nesting
pairs of eagles on the North Shore.
All information about the nest
location will be kept strictly. con-
fidential.
