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.

54 Years of Birding Travels
Join us to on zoom for a wonderful presentation by Richard Stern, "I will be giving an account of some of the memorable trips I have been on, in several parts of the world, and include pictures of birds, places and people."
About the speaker:
I started birding in the UK about 55 years ago, and it has always been a reason to travel. Every new place is like being a new birder. For years I was a busy specialist physician and could never take lengthy vacations, but travel has always been important to me.
I started life in Canada in northern Newfoundland in 1977. I live in Kentville now, and my wife Liz often comes with me on birding trips. Friendships, new cultures and places, interesting food, and bird and other photography on my travels have always been as important as getting new "lifers".
Meeting will be held online via zoom.
