The Manitoba Important Bird Area’s Program has a growing group of volunteers. We are keen to ensure all volunteers are given as much support as they need. For this reason we have begun a long process of preparing maps which show main points of access to each IBA plus other useful information. We use eBird to enter any data into the national IBA system (Using eBird for the Manitoba Important Bird Area program). We have also produced bird checklists for different IBA regions of Manitoba.
We will continue to add information to this section of the website during the spring and summer of 2015. If you are visiting an IBA and would like an IBA Protcol map ahead of time, please contact Tim Poole at iba@naturemanitoba.ca or (204) 943-9029.
