BIRDERS’ NIGHT
The Canada Jay as Canada’s National Bird??
In terms of national symbols, Canada has a tree, a mammal, two national sports and even a horse, but it does not have an official bird. Birds contribute big bucks to Canada’s economy via the fast-growing hobbies of birdwatching and bird-feeding; they provide a number of direct biological services; and they add intrinsic value by inspiring artists and aviators. Breeding in every province and territory, the tough Canada Jay remains in Canada year-round, being able to breed in very cold temperatures. As a member of the corvid family, it is arguably among the smartest birds on the planet! Best of all, they have not been chosen as an official bird for any geographical entity to date! Join Dr. David Bird, Emeritus Professor of Wildlife Biology at McGill University as he chronicles the quest to make the Canada Jay the national bird of our country.

Marine Night: Chinook Salmon ecology in the Salish Sea
Marine Night: Chinook Salmon ecology in the Salish Sea

On Line via Zoom
MARINE NIGHT
Chinook Salmon ecology in the Salish Sea: novel approaches and new insights
Declines in the marine survival of Salish Sea Chinook Salmon have had grave cultural, economic and ecological consequences. As part of a drive to understand these declines, PhD. student Will Duguid and colleagues in the Juanes Lab at the University of Victoria, have been developing new approaches to investigate Chinook Salmon and the ecosystem that supports them. Economical, small vessel sampling programs; citizen science based diet monitoring; and integration of electronic tagging technology are providing novel insights into Chinook Salmon ecology.
