We are signing up volunteers to count bird species and bird numbers within a 60 km radius of Eagle Point Provincial Park!  Each year\, the number of bird counting volunteers has grown and last year\, our volunteers counted a record 107 species!  Can we match or beat last year’s incredible numbers? With your help\, we can meet this challenge! \nYou can volunteer for as little as 15 minutes! Be a birding superstar and count birds for 24 hours!  Put in as much effort as you feel you can! \nHow to count birds:\nOption 1 – Count on Your Own\nCount in your yard or your neighbourhood. Registration is required (either by phone – 780-542-1932\, email – outreach@epbrparkscouncil.org or complete the registration below so that we can contact you after the count and get your checklists). \nWe will email you the bird checklist (if you prefer to hand count) and the e-bird instructions (if you prefer to use the app). \nOption 2 – Free Guided Bird Tour and Count\nJoin us on the self-drive Eagle Point Guided Bird Tour!  You can join us for the entire tour\, or just join us for a segment.  The self-drive tour begins at 7:30 am at Hilltop Trails trailhead (just above Willey West Campground).  There is quite a bit of walking involved\, so birders must be able to walk at a slow to medium pace for a distance of at least 3 km. \nRegistration is required!  \n\n\n
