Just wanted to drop a line here and say that yes, there are tonnes of keen birder up here in the northern region and yes, we have great birds up here. It's just that nobody uses this forum for some reason

Give me a shout if anyone wants to talk birding up north:)

Welcome Jessi!

We'd love to hear reports from up north as well as have northern birders join in. Northern BC is a great place for birding as well as for wildlife watching, lots going on up there I'm sure. Thanks for giving us a shout and I hope more northern birders drop by.

Cheers,

Thanks Kevin - I used to visit this board all the time a while ago... but I had to get a new account becuase I completely forgot my both my username and password:) I came back with a shorebird identification question, and I just thought I would start posting findings on this forum and hope some of the rest of the birders up here follow suit. I attempted to make my own forum once, but again, nobody used it

Because I started atlassing last year I keep much more detailed records of the birds I see - I used to only record the new species I saw but now I record everything.

I live in Northern BC as well and would love to see postings more specific to our area. Hope more people take part
