Naturalists will be "The = Maritime Butterfly Atlas" by John Klymko on Tues May 3 at 6:30 pm at the = program room of the New Glasgow Library.=20 John is a zoologist who specializes in insects. Over the past six years, = John coordinated a group of mostly citizen science volunteers who = collected data on butterflies in the three Maritime provinces. John will = discuss how this project has improved the understanding of butterfly = conservation in NS and the Maritimes, how the project will allow for the = monitoring of changes in butterfly distribution in the future and what = is in store for the project in the next few years.=20 John grew up in southern Ontario and attended the University of Guelph = to do his MSc in fly taxonomy. In 2009 he moved to the Maritimes to work = as zoologist at the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre, a = not-for-profit where the mission is to assemble and provide objective = and understandable data and support decision-making, research and = education in Atlantic Canada. Besides butterflies, John conducts surveys = for dragonflies, pollinators and other insects of conservation interest = through the Maritimes and has also be known to dabble a little in = birding and I believe this week successfully added a mega rare = Black-throated Sparrow at the Beaubassin Research Station (in the = Tantramar area of NB near the NS border) to his NB birdlist. .=20 2) Spring Bird Migration has been in action now for about a month or = more but next month it really swings into high gear and May 14 is the = date of this year's annual NS Migration Count with Chris Pepper from the = NS Bird Society as provincial coordinator.
