Welcome to Bird Report BC. (Photo: Mike Yip) This is a group for bird reports around British Columbia (mainly Vancouver and the Fraser Valley). Before joining this group please read the following:

Rules (and suggestions):
1. (R) Sign all posts with your first and last name. Please also post your location and the directions to locations of birds found in areas that aren't well known to most birders.
2. (R) Please do not post controversial subjects such as politics, ethics, religion or otherwise. (Conservation issues are allowed as long as they are just to raise awareness to the issue. Ethics related to photographers are not.) Please be responsible when it comes to something that might make other members angry.
3. (R) Please do no post the location of sensitive birds that may be effected negatively by the presence of many birders and/or photographers. These birds include, but are not limited to, Owls (not including Northern Hawk or Northern Pygmy), any bird nests, roosting goatsuckers (nighthawks and poorwills), and anything else that could be negatively effected.
4. (R) No personal attacks to other group members. We have to stick together if we are to protect and ensure a future for all birds and other wildlife.
5. (R) Please don't post on anything to do with domestic animals.
6. (S) This is a birding group but if you would like to post on other interesting wildlife or plants please do so.
7. (S) This is a great spot to invite people on bird walks and outings that may be taking place.
8. (R) Please do not invite anyone to the group who you feel is an irresponsible birder, photographer and/or person in general. Please try to keep it a safe place to post bird locations.

I hope this works out and I hope I can rely on everyone's help to moderate and keep this group going as long as possible. Also please invite responsible birders who I may have missed.

Thanks,

Jeremiah Kennedy
