Field Trips

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

Waiting in the Wings: How Dinosaurs Gave Rise to Birds
Thursday, January 25, 2024, 07:00pm - 08:30pm
Waiting in the Wings: How Dinosaurs Gave Rise to Birds
 
Birds are the most successful land vertebrates today, thanks to dinosaurs. We know dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds by the traits they share. Many features of the bird’s skeleton, eggs, and integument (feathers) had their origins among dinosaurs.
 
In this talk, I explore evidence of the relationship between dinosaurs and birds, focussing on research projects that I have been involved in over the years.
