Gros Morne National Park of Canada

Field checklist of birds for Gros Morne National Park of Canada and its offshore waters.

Over the years many staff members at Gros Morne National Park have contributed to the data upon which this checklist is based. The role of staff members from other agencies, residents and visitors of the Gros Morne National Park area is acknowledged and appreciated. The more contributions compilers receive the better, as no checklist is ever final. What species will be next to be added to the list? Its fun to speculate. HAPPY BIRDING!
