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.
