Hi all=20

A Swift Night Out will be held in New Glasgow Tues. July 29 and will =
begin with a presentation at 7 pm at the New Glasgow Library at 182 =
Dalhousie St.   Holly Lightfoot from Bird Studies Canada Swiftwatch =
program will give a presentation on the natural history of the =
endangered Chimney Swift and how you can identify and protect this =
species. After the program we will meet about 8:30 pm at the parking lot =
of the near-by Swift roost chimney of the Temperance St. School at 334 =
Temperance St. to watch the spectacle of the swifts as they enter the =
chimney to spend the night. Soon the swifts will be leaving our area for =
another year so this is a great opportunity to see a good number of =
swifts. Last night July 21 the count was 190. With the closure of the =
school this June, the future of the building is uncertain so nice to see =
a crowd to demonstrate interest in the Chimney Swift.=20


Identifying Harmful wild Plants

Recently I received this kind invitation to Naturalists (as well as the =
Young Naturalists) from Charlie Strickland, search director of the =
Pictou County Volunteer Ground Search and Rescue. The presentation is on =
identifying wild plants that potentially could produce rashes, allergic =
reactions etc.and that one might encounter on outdoor walks. The =
speaker, Marian Munro (Zinck), is no stranger to our Pictou Co =
Naturalist club having given at least 2 presentations in the past. =
However it has been quite awhile and with the added bonus of a walk the =
day after the presentation. Marian is the author of the 2 volume revised =
"Roland's Flora of Nova Scotia" and a great authority on NS wild plants. =
 Note the presentation is Friday July 25th at 7 p m  in the Alma fire =
hall. At that time the time and location of the next day's field trip =
will be announced. =20
all the best
