Given a recent shooting of a Great Blue Heron in 91原创, which prompted it to have to be euthanized, more locals are talking about the community鈥檚 bird population than ever before.
Those talking about the community鈥檚 birds are members of 91原创 Field Naturalists, a group that has just released a more brochures spotlighting more than 50 local birds.
鈥淒ue to high demand,鈥 their Birds in 91原创 brochure has necessitated a second printing, publicity chair Lilianne Fuller announced today.
鈥淭his edition of the brochure does include a slight change,鈥 Fuller added. 鈥淚t was noted that the pileated woodpecker was a far more popular resident in 91原创, so it was included鈥 among the 54 birds featured in the colourful brochure.
The brochure is being made available to everyone, but in particular 91原创鈥檚 youth, through local schools.
鈥淭eachers are encouraged to contact the club to replenish their supplies,鈥 said Fuller, who said the brochures are also being made available at local libraries, recreation centres, and community centres.
