The Blomidon Naturalist Society will hold its normal monthly meeting =20
on Monday, January 16 at 7:30 PM

Room BAC241, Beverege Arts Centre, Acadia University

The Breeding Bird Survey: Past, Present, and Future by Becky Whittam. =20=

Becky Whittam of the Canadian Wildlife Service will discuss the North =20=

American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and its relevance to the Maritimes =20=

as a tool for monitoring bird populations. Initiated in 1966, the BBS =20=

is North America=92s longest running bird monitoring program, and =20
involves volunteers and professionals from across North America. =20
Becky=92s talk will include stories and pictures from Maritime =20
volunteers, a dedicated and hardy bunch whose work has contributed =20
greatly to our knowledge of bird population change over the last half =20=

century. Becky will also discuss both regional and national results of =20=

the survey and how these results have informed a variety of =20
conservation initiatives. Plans for future analyses and potential =20
expansion in the Maritimes will also be outlined. The BBS is a =20
cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey's Patuxent =20
Wildlife Research Center and Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife =20
Service.

All are welcome. For more information about the society, visit =
