--Apple-Mail-56-849707765 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The regular monthly meeting of the Blomidon Naturalists Society will =20 take place Monday, November 19, 2012 at 7:30 PM in Room BAC241 of the =20= Beveridge Arts Centre of Acadia University on the corner of Main =20 Street and Highland Avenue, Wolfville. Parking is available off =20 Highland Avenue, on Acadia Street, and at the parking area around the =20= Robie Tufts Nature Centre. Everyone is welcome. The main presentation will be: Looking for a White Needle in a Snow-=20 covered Haystack: Searching for Canada=92s Ivory Gulls by Dr. Mark =20 Mallory. The talk summarizes a decade=92s work conducting surveys and =20= research on Ivory Gulls (Pagophila eburnea), an iconic seabird that =20 has recently joined the ranks of Canada=92s endangered species. Mark =20 will go over the local ecological knowledge that prompted the early =20 surveys, the survey results, research into contaminants in gull eggs, =20= smoking guns that may be responsible for some of the population =20 changes, and up-to-date results of satellite tracking work being =20 undertaken by Acadia University MSc candidate Nora Spencer. Dr. Mark Mallory is the newest Canada Research Chair at Acadia =20 University, focusing on coastal wetland ecosystems. He spent 20 years =20= as a federal government biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service, =20= working first on acid rain and boreal ecosystems in Ontario, before =20 heading North with his family (Carolyn, Conor, Jessamyn and Olivia) to =20= Iqaluit in 1999 to work on Arctic seabirds and landscapes. Although =20 his overall research program is broad and examines many aspects of the =20= ecology of coastal areas, much of his most notable work has examined =20 year-round movements of Arctic marine birds, and the consequences of =20 their biotransport of nutrients and contaminants from marine feeding =20 areas to terrestrial breeding colonies. At Acadia, his research =20 locations are split between the Arctic and coastal Nova Scotia. Mark=92s = =20 wife Carolyn is a noted expert on Canadian Arctic plants, but =20 regularly trundles off with Mark to study wild things.
