<DIV><FONT size=3D2 fac This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_00AD_01CE4B1A.78325340 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Ken McKenna Box 218 Stellarton NS B0K 1S0 902 752-7644 Hi Everyone Just a little reminder of tonight's Pictou Co. Naturalist talk on = White-nose Syndrome in Bats with Shavonne Meyer, our new central region = of DNR biologist. It all happens at 6:30 at the New Glasgow Library. So set your TV recorders to tape the opening bits of the Moosehead or = Canadian-Ottawa games and come on down to meet Shavonne and hear about = this devastating disease and how the effects on bat population might = affect the balance of nature. As an added treat, why not drop in to the Temperance St. school after = the talk and watch the newly arrived Chimney Swifts enter the chimney. = They arrived on May 5 from over-wintering in South America and although = numbers are a little small yet- a dozen last night, each day will bring = the numbers up till they max out 1st week of June sometimes >500-600 = birds. This endangered species is amazing to watch, so if you have not = seen them yet, this is a great opportunity while you are in the = vicinity. Swifts entered chimney last night 8:42-8:45 add a little to = the time each night till the solstice then subtract. Entrance is more = reliable on a clear night. =20 Below is a note from Chris Pepper, provincial coordinator, on the = upcoming NS Bird Migration Count Day. as well as a link to forms that = can be used to submit your data. If you can help out in Pictou Co. as = either a feeder-yard watcher of a field observer, I am the Pictou Co. = coordinator so let me know email or call if you will be participating. = and submit the data to me so Chris is not overburdened with forms and = the county results can all be in one place.=20 Attention Birders! The 2013 Nova Scotia Migration Count will be taking place on May 11th. = Anyone interested is encouraged to contact their county coordinator and = let them know where they will be participating. If your county has no = coordinator you can get in touch with me by e-mail or phone 483-6693. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how the NSMC works, it's quite = simple. Go birdwatching somewhere in Nova Scotia on count day, count the = number of each species detected, then send your checklist into your = county coordinator. Some counties have more participation than others so = make sure you contact your county coordinator and let them know where = you will be bird watching to avoid covering the same area as another = person. If your county has no coordinator you can send your checklist = directly to me Chris Pepper at cpepper@ymail.com or send it to me the = old fashioned way to 65 Marie Ave./ Lake Echo N.S./ B3E-1A9. The easiest way to send in your data is by using the" field" and = "feeder watcher" forms provided on the NS Bird Society Website but any = checklist is permitted,(at least by me). Just remember to write down = what county you participated in, the number of hours you spent in the = field or at your feeders and the number of kilometers you walked or = drove. The list of county coordinators is on the "cork board" along with = the field/feederwatcher forms. If you have any questions you can e-mail = me or phone 483-6693 and I will try and assist you the best I can. Thanks again to all the county coordinators. To all the participants, = good luck and have fun. Chris Pepper forms can be found at this link: http://nsbs.chebucto.org/cork_board.html cheers Ken ------=_NextPart_000_00AD_01CE4B1A.78325340 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.19412"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton = NS<BR>B0K=20 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Hi Everyone</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Just a little reminder of tonight's = Pictou Co.=20 Naturalist talk on <STRONG>White-nose Syndrome in Bats</STRONG> = with=20 Shavonne Meyer, our new central region of DNR biologist.
