On today’s show, we talk with Mount Allison biologist Dr. Diana Hamilton, co-chair for the 10th Western Hemisphere Shorebird Group Meeting happening next week in Sackville. Hundreds of shorebird researchers will gather for the biennial conference, to exchange information and research about shorebirds, including the semi-palmated sandpiper, which arrive by the tens of thousands each year to the mud flats off Dorchester Cape.
We also revisit a 2022 trip to the Johnson’s Mills Shorebird Interpretive Centre to hear why people flock there every year around this time.
Plus, the EOS Eco Energy water testing blitz is happening this Friday, August 9, inviting residents in Port Elgin, Murray Corner, Baie Verte and Sackville to contribute water samples from their favourite brooks and streams for e. coli testing.
