Vernon’s 'Big Year' Adventure
Comes to Battle Harbour!

Overview

From chasing rarities to savouring the beauty of everyday birds,
his journey is as captivating as the wildlife he tracks.

From July 14–15, 2025, Discover the wonders of birding in Newfoundland and Labrador as Vernon Buckle shares highlights from his journey and reveals what he’s encountered halfway through his ambitious Big Year!

A "Big Year" in birding is an ambitious challenge where birdwatchers aim to identify as many bird species as possible within a single calendar year.

Vernon grew up and has lived in English Point, Labrador most of his life. He is a passionate birder and nature enthusiast who has been photographing and exploring Labrador for many years, documenting the latest rarity and common birds alike. Along the journey, he has added one new Canadian species and one provincial species, in addition to at least 18 Labrador County species.
