SUMMARY:Nature Moncton - October Monthly Meeting Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Shorebirds in Atlantic CanadaTuesday October 15\, 2024 a
 t 7 PMMapleton Park Rotary LodgePresenter: Dr. Diana HamiltonEvery year in
  late summer\, large numbers of Arctic-breeding shorebirds migrate through
  our region\, stopping to fuel up before continuing their long journey to 
 their tropical non-breeding grounds where they spend the winter. Atlantic 
 Canada provides critical habitat for these birds which are facing challeng
 es and population declines throughout their range. Diana Hamilton\, a prof
 essor in the Biology Department at Mount Allison university\, has been stu
 dying these birds for over 25 years. Working with colleagues at Environmen
 t and Climate Change Canada and many students\, Diana’s lab has examined
  many aspects of shorebird ecology. She will share some of their group’s
  insights on Semipalmated Sandpipers and other shorebird species during th
 eir time in our region. Diana has been a professor at Mount Allison since 
 2005\, and the Biology Department Head since 2018. Prior to joining Mount 
 A\, Diana did postdoctoral work at UNB\, where she developed her fascinati
 on with shorebirds and their intertidal habitat. Before working on shorebi
 rds and mudflats\, Diana completed a PhD atthe University of Guelph\, wher
 e she examined combined effects of predation by Common Eiders and disturba
 nce on rocky intertidal communities. This presentation will be in-person. 
 It will also be available via Zoom here. All are welcome\, Nature Moncton 
 member or not.
