Bird watching week returns to TerraceBC
Locals with a passion for birds have an opportunity to contribute to this year’s Christmas bird count.
The count takes place all over Terrace, centred on the Northwest Regional Airport, and each volunteer will have their own particular area to count in, depending on their desire and ability to travel in the area. The airport was chosen as the center of the count area in 2011. The study of animal populations becomes more and more important as climate change alters local weather patterns, and tracking these numbers is one of the ways biologists can keep an eye on how animal species are handling the change.
Data gathered from the bird count may not be perfect, but it’s a valuable tool for conservationists. Audubon released a report in 2014 noting declines in 314 species of birds, which was used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a climate change indicator.
