--14dae94ee253e5fd2404d8c3ad02 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 There will be a presentation on Lead Poisoning in Bald eagles at 7:30 pm on March 28 at the regular monthly meeting of the Nova Scotia Bird Society at the Natural History Museum In Halifax. Presenter is Helene Van Doninck DVM of the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. All are welcome. Presentation Summary: Poisoning from spent lead ammunition has been documented in many species worldwide and is an issue that occurs repeatedly in Nova Scotia in the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). This presentation will discuss the science behind lead poisoning , concerns about the entry of lead into the human food chain through lead harvested game, and the solution to this solvable problem: the use of non-lead ammunition. The key to decreasing the incidence of lead poisoning is hunter outreach. Education efforts in Nova Scotia have resulted in positive and groundbreaking initiatives. -- Helene Van Doninck DVM Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre RR#1 Brookfield NS B0N1C0 902-893-0253 birdvet@hotmail.com www.cwrc.net --14dae94ee253e5fd2404d8c3ad02 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <span style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',taho= ma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-colo= r:rgb(255,255,255)">There will be a presentation on Lead Poisoning in Bald = eagles at 7:30 pm on March 28 at the regular monthly meeting of the Nova Sc= otia Bird Society at the Natural History Museum In Halifax.
