Does anyone know where I can buy a poster showing common west coast BC birds? Thanks, Diana

Hi, Diana

The gift shop at Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary
at Ladner, BC, has a number of plasticised
fold-outs with photographs of birds for identification
purposes - for sale. There are several - one each
major bird categories; they are durable and intended
for use in the field.

One of these might be useful for your purposes.

The gift shop also has a good collection of
books for bird identification. Cheers.

Mike Yip has compiled awesome posters and a couple of books on Vancouver Island Birds.

I have just completed a poster of backyard feeder birds and am in the process of sorting a printer. Here's a link


You can contact me through my website at http://www.raincoastphoto.com

Well after a few months of looking for a printshop, as well as a adding a bunch more species to the poster, it is finally ready. I expect to have it in stores in the next week or two, starting with a number of stores on the lower island. So check your local bird feed store (Wild Birds Unlimited, Wild Bird Centre etc) or contact me directly for a local dealer. Here is a link to the final poster layout.

The pileated came in the day i was to take it into the print shop and really finished off the poster well. I can be reached at www.raincoastphoto.com for details

Wow, fantastic! I'll have to take a look at it next time I'm at WBU.

Hi Canaduck,
thanks, the poster will be in the Vancouver WBU stores this coming week, and is already available in lower island stores.

Thanks
Stuart
