August is a great month for shorebirds in Manitoba’s IBAs. You can also enter by submitting observations through our website at https://importantbirdareasmb.ca/submit-your-observations-comments/. At the end of the month we will do a draw of all eligible checklists for an opportunity to win a $50 gas card from Co-op, donated by Red River Co-op.

July’s contest was won by Jo Swartz, Betsy Thorsteinson, Kelsey Bell and Katherine Schulz for this checklist from our Shoal Lakes IBA Blitz – https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S58423556.
