** Georges Brun spotted the pale pelaged COYOTE [Coyote] he had seen a few
weeks ago, continuing to hunt on the marsh across the river from the Chateau
Moncton. The pelage of the eastern Coyote is very variable.
** Naure Moncton’s activities chairperson Louise Nichols advises of a
workshop to take place this coming Saturday, Feb. 20, at the Tankville School
from 1 to 4 p.m. Pam Novak and Barry Rothfus from the Atlantic Wildlife
Institute will explain how the Institute works, with lots of information that we
all can use to help in rehabilitating injured wildlife, and most importantly
ways to keep wildlife from ending up having to be rehabilitated in the first
place. Detailed information is attached. Early registration is encouraged.
Atlantic Wildlife Institute: Wildlife
Response Network
Workshop with Pam Novak and Barry
Rothfuss
Saturday Feb 20,
2016
The Atlantic Wildlife Institute,
located near Sackville, NB, encourages learning about the vital relationship
between people and nature. The focus of
the institute is on hands-on learning and research, rooted in a program of
rescue, rehabilitation and release of displaced wildlife. This workshop will give an overview of the
creation of the Network and how it helps determine legitimate wildlife crisis
scenarios. Pam and Barry will give
examples of typical calls to the institute about wildlife, AWI response
protocols, how they train their 1st responders, and the Do’s and
Don’t’s of when to intervene.
Saturday February 20,

** Details of tomorrow night's Nature Moncton meeting are repeated
below.
Make sure to consider bringing any recent photos that you might like to
share with the group after the speaker’s presentation, as the projector and
computer will be present to project them.
The monthly Nature Moncton meeting is coming up at 7 p.m., Tuesday,
February 16, at the Mapleton Rotary Lodge, located across the road from
Cabela’s. Our guest speaker, Nicholas LeComte, from the Université de Moncton,
will have some very interesting information to share on the life and times of
the SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER [Bécasseau semipalmé], which was historically the
most widespread and numerous shorebird species in the Western Hemisphere.
Nicholas and his colleagues have done some ground-breaking investigations with
the use of geo-locators attached to the birds on their wintering grounds and on
the breeding grounds. The results are showing ways to understand their decline
in order to address the reason why it is happening. Nicholas will be letting us
re-visit one of our favourite summer events, the shorebird migration. All are
welcome.
