** Now and into winter at wetlands in wooded areas and edges of ponds or
rivers it's a great time to put up Wood Duck boxes. Proper Wood Duck boxes are a
big job to build properly. Lois Budd can get several Wood Duck boxes that were
made to Ducks Unlimited specifications and will donate them to folks who will
put them up. Lois will bring them to the Nature Moncton meeting tonight and some
will be on the "show and tell" table at the front along with guise books. If not
able to get to tonight's meeting, and would like a box, email Lois at loisethelbudd@hotmail.com
** The Nature Moncton November meeting is taking place tonight, Tuesday
November 21, at 7:00 pm at the Mapleton Park Rotary Lodge across from Cabela's
with special guest speaker Jim Wilson who will give a presentation on the Turkey
Vulture in New Brunswick. The write up is attached below.
Nature Moncton
Presentation.
November 21st, 2017 at 7pm
Location: Mapleton Park Lodge, off Cabela Dr.
Living on the Edge: The Life of the Turkey Vulture.
A presentation by Jim Wilson
Much maligned and misunderstood, vultures usually get a bad rap from almost everyone. But that’s because we don’t understand them and we judge them by their appearance and by what and how they eat. In reality, they’re very interesting birds, passive and highly intelligent and possessing some ingenious strategies to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing when or where their next meal is coming from. This presentation will almost certainly change your opinion. Given by Jim Wilson, one of NB’s most knowledgeable birders and a great speaker, this talk is sure to be outstanding. But add to that the fact that Jim has played a leading role in discovering this species’ first proven nesting site in the province and also that Turkey Vultures started to be seen here more regularly about two decades ago very close to his home, and we should be in for a very entertaining evening with Jim and the vultures.
