Our Can Geo Talks spring lineup is here!
On February 4, join us for a conversation about the Canada Jay. Should the Canada Jay be Canada's national bird? Dr. David Bird thinks so!
As an Emeritus Professor of Wildlife Biology of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Dr. Bird has published close to 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and supervised 50 graduate students on a wide range of wildlife themes, almost all on birds of prey and in more recent years, the application of UAVs (drones) to wildlife research and conservation.
He is currently heading a national team to establish the Canada Jay as Canada’s national bird.
Tune in for our talk on February 4 at 8:30 p.m. EST on Facebook, Periscope or YouTube.
Questions are welcomed in advance — please reply to this email or email haggert@canadiangeographic.ca. |

Later this spring, join us as we host Suzanne Simard to discover the wisdom of the forest. As a professor of forest ecology, Simard has tested theories about how trees communicate with each other. We'll speak with her on May 6.
