The Vancouver Natural History Society has just released a publication
detailing bird sightings for the Vancouver, British Columbia, Check List
Area from 1995.

This 92-page, bound book with 16 additional pages of colour photographs has
been compiled from thousands of records submitted by 193 observers. For
each species there are data on arrival dates, migration numbers, high
counts, departure dates, noteworthy records and the number of reports
received. In addition, for many of the species there are monthly counts for
up to three specific birding locations; Iona and Sea Island, Reifel Refuge
and Jericho Beach.

Also included are sumaries of Mist Net captures on Sea Island, Burrard
Inlet, White Rock and Surrey and Maplewood Flats Bird Surveys and the 1995
vancouver Big Day Birdathon.

The Birding Section of the VNHS have totalled a significant number of
volunteer hours publishing these records. It is hoped that success with
this edition will enable us to produce a similar publication for 1996 and
for subsequent years.

The cover price of this publication is $14.95 Canadian. Only one thousand
copies have been produced and a significant number of these were sold
yesterday, the first day the book was available. Anyone interested in
obtaining a copy should e-mail me directly. For those of you "over the
border" the price will be $10.00 US including mailing.
