Field trips are open to non-members as well as members. Feel free to phone or e-mail the field trip leader or contact person ahead of time to obtain further information, directions or restrictions (e.g. dogs are not normally allowed on field trips). Registration is usually required to help manage group sizes and everyone will be asked to sign a waiver.
Ideas and suggestions for future trips are welcome. You do not need to be an expert to lead a field trip, and the trip does not need to last all day. You just need to share your favourite birding spots. Any questions, comments or suggestions, as well as all field trip reports should be directed to the Events Editor, Angie Millard. Email: fieldtripcoordinator@nsbirdsociety.ca
Regular membership meetings typically feature a guest speaker and normally take place on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are held September, October, January, February, March, April and May. The annual general meeting (AGM) is held in November.

Guyana: One of the top birding and wildlife destinations in South America, Avocet Tours, Avery Bartels
Trip Leader Avery Bartels will share photos and highlights of November 2024 Avocet tour to Guyana, which included four Nova Scotia participants.
The Guianan Shield of Northern South America holds a wealth of natural beauty and high rates of endemic birds and wildlife. As one of the least populated countries in South America, nearly 90% of the native rainforest remains intact allowing for significant populations of native wildlife including top predators and megafauna such as Harpy Eagles, Jaguars, Curassows and Tapir.
Join Avery for a presentation on his trip alongside four Nova Scotia Bird Society members. Expect critically endangered bird species, large mammals and photos of the world’s highest single-drop waterfall!
Everyone welcome.
