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. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| 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/ | ||||||
