HERE’S A RECAP
We were wonderfully entertained by Deidrey Francois and her show, "Celebration: A Sing-along Vegas Tribute Show." The show celebrated Black excellence in music and showcased eight well known singers, amazing popular music and lively and surprising impersonations. Deidrey is indeed a very talented singer/ performer and Joy-bringer, and at the end of the show she received a well deserved standing ovation from our PROBUS members. We will look forward to her performing at a future meeting.
Guest Speaker - March 17
ERICA NOL - “Will Songbirds Survive?"
Erica Nol is a Professor of Biology at Trent University in Peterborough. She will share her research on how climate variability impacts shorebird populations. Specifically, how are songbirds coping with human impact on the planet.
What we will hear comes from many long days out in the forest and grasslands carefully observing birds and their habits. Her methodology examines food availability, food traps and nest searching.
About the Speaker: Erica Nol has been a professor of biology for nearly 40 years with much of her research focusing on breeding biology. Erica has supervised grad students investigating arctic breeding shorebirds, forest and grassland birds, as well as pollinators and amphibeans. Her teaching and research have taken her to Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba, the Galapagos, Southern Ontario, coastal Virginia and the Arctic.
