Hi All,
The guest speaker at this month's meeting of the Southwest Chapter of the
Nova Scotia Bird Society will be Mark Dennis who will speak about his
month-long birding adventure in a talk entitled: "Australia - A Long Way
from Home."
The meeting will be held at the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, 22
Collins St. in Yarmouth, on November 27 at 7:00 PM.
The meeting is open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.
For more information, contact me at j.f.kearney@gmail.com
<mailto:j.f.kearney@gmail.com> .
These notices are also good opportunity to learn more about the biographies
of our local naturalists. Here is what Mark wrote about himself:
"I started bird watching in 1966 and was fortunate enough to be able to
chose 'Ornithology' as a high school exam option, which I passed with a
grade 1, the only grade 1 I got! I graduated to more energetic birding in
1980, travelling to see rare birds, covering a local patch, working for the
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds as a volunteer on various reserves
and taking part in breeding bird surveys. For 15 years I was a Countryside
Ranger at a site in Nottinghamshire when I did weekly guiding, numerous site
related presentations and surveyed and documented the site exhaustively. I
was involved in the county bird society in the UK for 18 years including
sitting on the county records committee and producing the annual report with
a team. With my wife Sandra, we moved to Quebec in May 2003 and I quickly
adopted a local sand pit at St-Lazare near Montreal as my patch. I
subsequently wrote a site guide for 'the pits' which is free to download,
one of eight eBooks that I have authored, most are free to download. We
moved to Cape Sable Island in May 2015 and have never looked back. To aid
visitors I have authored an electronic site guide to birding Cape Island
which was initially free and is now available for the price of a cup of
coffee. I am an ardent supporter of eBird with over 13,000 checklists logged
to date. I have birded in 27 countries world-wide so far and hope to add a
few more as time and finances allow."
