Canadian Migration Monitoring Network
National Meeting
August 16-19, 2018
Save the Date!
Every two years, representatives from the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network (CMMN) gather to discuss our successes, challenges, and to identify network priorities. So we are excited to announce that our next National Meeting will be held in Victoria, British Columbia in August 16-19, 2018.
Rocky Point Bird Observatory (RPBO) will be hosting the meeting at the Pearson College of the Pacific on beautiful Pedder Bay, within walking distance of one of their RPBO banding locations. Plan your arrival for the evening of August 16, with sessions to be held on August 17 and 18, and optional field trips before departure on Sunday, August 19. And of course there will be time for some BC island birding between meeting sessions. Dorm style accommodation will be available on campus with alternative accommodation available in the community.
We would like to thank Ann Nightingale with RPBO for helping to coordinate this event with our Steering Committee members. Our network depends on the active participation of our members and we are hoping you can attend. We are aware that these dates fall in the operating season of some stations, so we are sending this advance notice to help those stations start planning their upcoming summer so that they may be able to attend.
Please mark the date in your calendars and stay tuned for more information to follow in early 2018.
We would like to encourage you to become a more active member of your network! Whether it's posting a Migration season summary, sharing an interesting species observation, or showing a new technique that you use...there are many ways to be more engaged with your network. We would love to hear from you!
The Canadian Migration Monitoring Network is a success due to the collaborative efforts and support of our members. Thank you to the following organizations and stations for your commitment to avian migration monitoring!
