Hi all
Our Pictou Co. Naturalists presentation on Tues.March 4 will feature a film=
on Coyotes so mark this in your calendar.Usual start time of 6:30 p.m. in =
the program room of the New Glasgow Library.=20
For the March gathering, the members can view a special screening of the Na=
tional Film Board documentary, "Bad Coyote". Length - 51 minutes=20
About the film:=20
It's new, it's fearless, and it's very real. Written and directed by Jason =
Young and produced by Paul McNeill for the NFB Atlantic Centre in Halifax, =
"Bad Coyote" looks at a hybrid type of coyote, thought to be part wolf, whi=
ch has migrated to Eastern Canada. After a deadly mauling in Cape Breton, s=
aid to be the first such fatal attack against an adult human, alarm spreads=
across Nova Scotia. Trappers, scientists, sheep farmers and the mother of =
the 19-year-old victim, Taylor Mitchell, weigh in. Increasing media coverag=
e and reports of coyote attacks and sightings prompt the provincial governm=
ent to issue a controversial bounty for dead coyotes. To some, the only goo=
d coyote is a dead one; but others call for a more measured approach, seeki=
ng mutual respect between humans and animals. This short documentary invest=
igates a perceived threat in the rural Maritimes following a deadly coyote =
attack in the Cape Breton wilderness. Locals react to the attack by conclud=
ing that a new super-species is infiltrating their communities: part coyote=
and part wolf. But is there any truth to this suspicion, or is the respons=
e the result of fear and rumours? Some trailers follow by cutting and past=
ing this link.

Our April 1 presentation will be titled "The Art of Bird Photography" with =
Cliff Sandeson.=20
Cliff Sandeson is a retired teacher from the Truro area who has always enjo=
yed nature and nature photography. In this presentation, he will discuss t=
he equipment necessary for bird photography, the camera settings that he pr=
efers and present 11 tips for better bird photography. He will conclude hi=
s presentation with a selection of images that will illustrate the points m=
ade in the first section of his program.=20
May 6 Presentation: The Maritimes Butterfly Atlas - just one year left! =
with John Klymko=20
Launched in 2010, the Maritimes Butterfly Atlas (MBA) is a five year citize=
n science project documenting the occurrence of butterflies in the three Ma=
ritime provinces. This is the first atlas of this scale for the Maritimes. =
The MBA is modeled after state-level butterfly surveys that are underway or=
complete in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts and after the Maritimes Bree=
ding Bird Atlas.
The MBA's purpose is to produce a snapshot of butterfly populat=
ions in the Maritimes today and provide a baseline dataset for the future. =
Information gathered will be used to inform conservation decisions, especia=
lly with regards to identifying species of conservation concern and their h=
abitats. It will be valuable in the decades to come, as scientists examine =
effects of climate change and other disturbances on the distribution and ab=
undance of native animal species.=20
John Klymko, the Atlas director, will discuss the highlights of=
the project as it enters its fifth and final field season, and will provid=
e a briefing on how you too can contribute to this conservation effort.
Cheryl Hamilton delivered an excellent and revealing presentation on Cambod=
ia in our February program highlighting frightening problems with deforesta=
tion, and trade in threatened species. She wanted me to send along a few li=
nks if people wanted some more information=20
