A forum for discussing birds and birding in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The emphasis is on trip reports from within Manitoba and information on rarities. Other topics directly concerning Manitoba birds, such as specific in province bird conservation issues are acceptable. Buying and selling birding equipment is OK with the proviso that it is buyer and seller beware. The moderator takes no responsibility for bad deals.
Unacceptable topics are trip reports from out of province, bird feeding, bird houses, general conservation issues, and cats!
The group does not support e-mail attachments. Photographs can be posted in the Photos section at the Manitobabirds web page. Photographs must have a species identification (unless they are posted to obtain i.d. help), location and date taken. Images should be no bigger than 1200 pixels horizontal and 850 pixels vertical.
Sign all posts with your full name and give a location including the nearest town for all bird sightings. Many members of Manitobabirds do not live in the province and they may not be familiar with local names.
Manitoba-rba is available for reporting rare birds in Manitoba.
