Moncton November Meeting
November 19, 2024,
at 7:00 PM
Mapleton Park
Rotary Lodge
Presenter: Jill
Marvin
Jill Marvin is the
Director of Magnetic Hill Zoo and Park in Moncton, New Brunswick. She has been blessed with the opportunity to
work directly with animals throughout her entire life. From her first pets and
'exotic' animals to the Peregrine Falcon
family of Moncton, each one of these has inspired and fueled her passion and
connection with animals. In this presentation, Jill will share stories about
the animals and experiences she has had.
Prior to working at
the Magnetic Hill Zoo, Jill spent over 15 years at the Jardin Zoologique and
l’Aquarium du Quebec. She began her zoo career at African Lion Safari while
completing her Zoology studies at the University of Guelph. Jill has demonstrated a deep commitment to
animal welfare and a passion for conservation action and wildlife research.
From her work with Platypus in Australia, Dolphins in Florida, Polar Bears and Walrus
in the north, bird of prey rehabilitation in the mid-west, and the Lemurs of
Madagascar, she is driven to finish her vocation with the great apes.
This presentation
will be delivered live as well as available virtually for anyone anywhere to
enjoy and participate in.

A not-to-miss
presentation!
** Frank Branch got
a photo Tuesday morning on the Little Tracadie River of the rare-to-New-Brunswick Tundra Swan that was visiting. Many birders saw the bird. Thanks to
Jolande St-Pierre who made the call.
**Shannon Inman got
an excellent photograph of a Barred owl in their Harvey neighborhood on
Monday. They had been seeing it perched on a birdfeeder in the morning but it was too dark to photograph.
John was able to photograph a very colourful Pine
warbler visiting their yard.
