Welcome to the Pembroke Area Field Naturalists Club

Situated in the Ottawa Valley in Eastern Ontario, our organization is 25 years old. Formerly the Pembroke & Area Bird Club, we have documented 302 species of birds within our birding circle, being most of central Renfrew County, ON and western Pontiac County, QC. 

     On the Odonate website www.pursuitofpixels.com there is a set of instructions on how to build your own dragonfly net! There is a pdf file to download or print. Check it out!

 2010 Grassland Bird Survey Volunteers needed!

Wildlife Preservation Canada is seeking volunteer surveyors for the Grassland Bird Survey (GBS) beginning in the spring of 2010.This project is being run as a joint effort between Wildlife Preservation Canada, Bird Studies Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Services. The main goal of the project is to locate Loggerhead Shrike and incidentally, a suite of grassland bird species in Ontario mainly on habitat that has been previously identified through associated recovery activities. The information gathered will provide a greater understanding of bird species composition and linkages in Ontarios remaining short-grasslands. 

 

If you are interested in participating in this project and would like more information, please see attached letter from Katherine Robbins, Grassland Bird Survey Coordinator or feel free to contact the GBS coordinator at Wildlife Preservation Canada by phone at 519-836-9314 or 1-800-956-6608 (toll free) or through email at gbs@wildlifepreservation.ca.
