And outside, after the indoor identification portion, participants at our gull identification workshop got to test their ID skills with the experts. This morning we saw a black-headed gull and a lesser black-backed gull, among the more common herring and great black-backed. We were also treated to a visit from a friendly tufted duck. Thanks everyone for coming out today!

Great crowd here keen to learn about the challenge

Great crowd here keen to learn about the challenges with identifying the gulls that spend their winters right here in Newfoundland. Kicking off our full workshop this morning above beautifully bright and sunny Quidi Vidi Lake, we had presentations from Nature NL VP Megan Boucher, gull expert Lancy Cheng, and renowned bird tourism guide Jared Clarke of @birdtherocknl. Thanks for coming out, everyone -- we'll see you at the Lake!

Join Nature NL for our fifth year of graduate stud

Join Nature NL for our fifth year of graduate student mini-lectures!

Three interesting Memorial University students will present their work for us - non-native plant establishment in Newfoundland’s boreal forest, cryptic female choice and hybridization in fish, and how eelgrass ecosystem services vary depending on surrounding environmental conditions.

During this event we will hear from:

Jennifer Sullivan
Jen is a MSc candidate in Carissa Brown's biogeography lab. Jen’s research is focused on the factors that influence the presence of non-native plant species within the boreal forest region on the Avalon Peninsula of the island.

Tyler Lantiegne
Tyler is a MSc candidate in Craig Purchase's Evolutionary Ecology of Fishes lab. Tyler will speak about cryptic female choice and hybridization in fish.

Tanya Prystay
Tanya is a PhD candidate at Marine Institute in the Center of Fisheries Ecosystem Research. Tanya is applying drones and snorkel surveys to explore how eelgrass ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration, fish habitat) vary depending on meadow morphology and surrounding environmental conditions. Tanya is also part of a team working on restoring eelgrass meadows in Placentia Bay.
