SUMMARY:Bird Study Group April 2019
DESCRIPTION:Tadoussac – an alternate to Pt Pelee?\nPresented by Anne Belton \nLast May 28th 6 birders counted over 700\,000 warblers passing through Tadoussac! Until now Tadoussac has been a relatively unknown destination for birders. Anne will speak briefly about the real tourist attraction in Tadoussac – whales\, and then look at bird migration both in spring and fall. Tadoussac is said to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world\, it may soon become the hottest spot for birders! \nOriginally from Quebec\, Anne spent part of every summer in Tadoussac. She birding in her 20s. Her career took her to many countries to teach health professionals how to teach\, and help people manage diabetes. In every country Anne has tried to arrange a day or two for birding.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series - March 2019
DESCRIPTION:Antarctica: History\, Science and Overwintering at Scott Base\nWhat would you say to a chance to travel to one of the most remote job sites in the world to preserve artefacts from arguably some of the most iconic historic sites on the planet?  If you were Melinda Bell\, you’d say yes – twice!  As a member of the Antarctic Heritage Trust Winter Conservator Crew (2009 and 2010)\, the task required living and working at a science base on an island at “the end of the earth” (or close to it…)\, all in the pursuit of heritage conservation.  This presentation will provide an overview of that adventure – caring for historic artefacts (associated with the Scott and Shackleton expeditions)\, learning some polar science\, pitching in\, meeting “the locals” (oh\, penguins…)\, and enjoying the scenery…       \nSpeaker: Melinda (Mindy) Bell\nWith a keen childhood interest in “Little House on the Prairie” and “Indiana Jones”\, it was inevitable that Melinda pursued an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (Lakehead University)\, followed by a Diploma in Collections Conservation and Management (Sir Sandford Fleming College).  Her professional career has required the wearing of many hats (archaeology\, history\, research\, records management\, artefact preservation)\, but has proved that you can get experience and find gainful employment with an Arts degree. She has worked at Fort William Historical Park (Thunder Bay)\, studied rock art in Lake of the Woods\, dug for bison bones in SW Manitoba\, volunteered at the Canadian Canoe Museum (Peterborough)\, interned at Colonial Williamsburg (Virginia)\, and travelled to the other side of the world to take part in heritage preservation projects in New Zealand and at Scott Base (Ross Island\, Antarctica).  Melinda currently wears her records management hat\, but still makes times to visit museums and historic sites\, and to take up new hobbies (as a very fledgling birder).

SUMMARY:Speaker Series - February 2019
DESCRIPTION:Insects: Conservation\, Perceptions\, and Early Education\nWhy do humans prefer some insects over others? Why are we scared of insects that are harmless? How does our negative or confused attitude towards these animals impact conservation efforts? What influences beliefs in our early years of life? Elizabeth argues that we need to think critically about the messaging that children receive about insects and that we need to promote early development of positive perceptions of insects if we are to protect these vulnerable creatures. This talk is based on a recently published book chapter. \nBoileau E.Y.S.\, & Russell\, C. (2018). Insect and Human Flourishing in Early Childhood Education: Learning and Crawling Together. In A. Cutter-Mackenzie\, K. Malone\, & E. Barratt Hacking (Eds.)\, Research Handbook on Childhoodnature. Springer International Handbooks of Education. Springer\, Cham. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-51949-4_65-1 \nSpeaker: Elizabeth Boileau \nElizabeth is a doctoral student at Lakehead University in the Educational Studies program.

SUMMARY:Bird Study Group February 2019
DESCRIPTION:Alberta 2018 – An Alberta Big Year\nPresented by Howard Heffler \nHoward Heffler is a chemical engineer who spent most of his career in Calgary as an environmental manager in the petroleum industry. He and his wife\, Lyn\, have always participated in outdoor activities such as hiking\, skiing\, and paddling. Over the past twenty years\, birding has grown to become a primary interest. During 2018\, Howard\, with the support of Lyn and friends\, focused all of his birding efforts in Alberta.  \nHoward’s presentation will first describe the planning\, organization and results of his “big year”. The objective was not to set any record\, but to develop a better appreciation of Alberta’s birds and ecoregions. The second half will be an entertaining series of anecdotes and adventures to reach the year-end total of 304 species.  \nBird Study Group meetings are held at 7:30pm the first Wednesday of the month at Cardel Theatre (180 Quarry Park Boulevard SE)\, with the exception of January 2019\, where the group will meet the 2nd Wednesday. Free for members\, $5 for non-members. \n
