Bob Bancroft, here talking about cavity dwellers in a talk to the Friends of Redtail Society in 2013,
Bob made the presentation yesterday in a Zoom session. I had made a post about the upcoming event under In the News for Oct 15, 2020, and I tuned into it. About 30+ people, plus a class group at St. Thomas University watched the presentation and many joined in on the lengthy discussion afterward. The discussion was not archived, so, as we were told, people could speak freely, which they did. A lot of the discussion was to do with moose, stimulated by the current protest over plans to log in moose habitat in SW Nova Scotia.
As Bob always does, he provided an overview of some complex issues with great clarity but without “dumbing it down”.
Many thanks to Bob Bancroft, and to the folks at St. Thomas University and the N.B. Media Co-op for organizing the event and making the video available to all so quickly.
