Some images from the 2008 NatureNB AGM held on the Acadian Peninsula, hosted by Club de Naturalistes de la Péninsule acadienne on June 20, 21 & 22.

We enjoyed many outings ... and many mosquitoes enjoyed us :-)

A highlight for some was to visit a protected Piping Plover nesting site with Lewnanny Richardson (photo at left).

At the same location, an unusual egg case was found, photo below.  Please Contact us (replace "_at_" with "@")  if you know what species this represents:

A Savannah Sparrow (above) and a Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow were also seen at the same location.

At another location as we walked along a well used ATV trail on a beach, Merv Cormier and I photographed another pair of Piping Plovers, which seemed uncomfortably close to the trail (as was their nest).  We contacted Lewnanny's team so that this undocumented nest site could be protected as well:
