VIRTUAL: Nature Travel to Canada

Tuesday, April 1st, 2:00-3:00 PM

Bill Gette has organized five natural history travel adventures to Manitoba, Canada. His itineraries included visits to beautiful areas in the southern part of the province and to the province’s far northern port of Churchill. During this trip, he and his participants visited the Oak Hammock Marsh located a short distance north of Winnipeg, the small village of Pinawa near the Ontario border, the Delta Beach area on Lake Manitoba, and Riding Mountain National Park. In Churchill, located on Hudson Bay, Bill explored the vast tundra looking for nesting birds and other wildlife. Bill will share his photographs of nesting songbirds (Yellow-headed Blackbird, Black-and-white Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, Sedge Wren), shorebirds (Upland Sandpiper, Wilson’s Snipe, Red-necked Phalarope, Short-billed Dowitcher, Hudsonian Godwit); mammals (Red Fox, Black Bear, Beluga Whale); and beautiful wildflowers. Gette, who has been leading travel programs for Mass Audubon since 1986, is the retired Director of the Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport.
