FEBRUARY MONTHLY MEETING PRESENTATIONSixty-plus Years of Birding in New Brunswick
Tuesday February 18, 2025 at 7 PM
Mapleton Rotary Park Lodge
Presenter: Jim Wilson
This presentation will provide a retrospective look at the many changes in New Brunswick bird populations since Jim began birding and keeping a regular journal about New Brunswick birds and nature in 1963. At least one bird species has been extirpated in the province and many other populations have declined. Some have declined but later rebounded to their former numbers, others have expanded their breeding ranges into the province and one entirely new bird has been recognized by scientists. This presentation will provide some insight into the why and how these shifts happened and what we might expect next.
Jim Wilson, who many of us have met in the field, has been an active naturalist and birder throughout most of his life. He has contributed to the natural world in numerous ways including serving on the board for Nature NB and establishing the Point Lepreau Bird Observatory, an important spot for recording seabird migration along the Fundy coast. Jim was awarded the Roland Michener Conservation Award from the Canadian Wildlife Federation in 2018, and he received the Order of New Brunswick in 2019.
Come join us for what will be an enlightening and entertaining evening. This will be an in-person presentation at the lodge, but anyone can join via Zoom at the following link:
