Birdwatching in Newfoundland

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		G	Parsons	Labrador City, Labrador	Anytime	English
		Labrador is a vast territory, I live in the western part. For the most part we have Boreal Birds. In the spring and fall we have good migration numbers. There have been about 175 species in total seen in my area. There are limited roads and very few services along them.
		L	Torraville	Port au Choix	Anytime	English
		My husband and I have a keen interest in nature and our property reflects that interest. Port au Choix is a National Historic site centered around Maritime Archiac Indian and Dorset Eskimo cultures.
		A	Hughes	St. John's	Anytime	English/French
		A couple of weeks ago my cousin and I, along with our wives, had the great pleasure of birding the Newfoundland Avalon for several days under the guidance and tutelage of Anne Hughes. This message is just to record publicly our thanks to Birdingpal and to Anne for her great generosity and her extensive knowledge of the birds of Newfoundland. Birding with her was a joy and a privilege.

		B	Kelly	St. Johns	Anytime	English
		The closest "big" city to me would be St.johns its only 20 mins away. I'm not far from Quidi Vidi Lake which is one of the best places in Atlantic Canada for gull birding. Also Ii'm not far from some great shore and sea bird watching. I'm a beginner photographer, active conservationist and dedicated birdwatcher. Visit my web site
		A	Buckley	St. Johns	Anytime	English/French/German
		The island offers great birding at anytime of the year. North American rarities regularly show up on the Avalon Peninsula throughout the year. Gulls are best seen during the winter, breeding colonies of seabirds in the summer are spectacular, Southern vagrants during the fall and unpredictable spring migration makes the island very enticing!

		I have been actively birding in Newfoundland for over 10 years. I have an especially keen interest in Shorebirds and Gulls. I have logged thousands of hours watching and photographing gulls over that time. I offer a range of day trips and coming this summer I will be offering three week long birding vacations in Western Newfoundland. Visit my website http://birdingnewfoundland.blogspot.com:80/
