Jim Wilson has been a birder and naturalist in New Brunswick for more than 40 years and during much of that time has been one of the more active people enjoying this pursuit. Now that he’s retired, he has more time to share his encounters with others through pubic talks and workshops.

Jim will be presenting on  Amazing Bird Migration – Each fall and spring millions of birds make an amazing journey from Canada to their southern wintering areas and back again. Ever wonder how they do it? What about the Robin that disappears at the end of summer but is back next spring, singing in the same tree? Do hummingbirds migrate to Mexico by riding on the backs of geese? Do birds fly at night, and if so, how do they see? What do they do in a hurricane? This talk details some of the incredible feats they accomplish as they are confronted by adverse weather, man-made obstacles and a host of other challenges.
