Alex Mills is a long time member of Nature Barrie first joining the club in the fall of 1972 as he was discovering the world of birds. He pursued his interest in university and now splits his interest of birds between the world of academics and the world of a naturalist. In both he has a special fondness for Eastern Whip-poor-wills which he first began studying in the 1980s,

Alex will be sharing with us what he has learned about these mysterious birds including the methods used to try and figure out what they do, This will be a fascinating talk.

All meetings will take place at Northwest Barrie United Church, 464 Ferndale Drive North, Barrie, unless otherwise noted. Meetings are held in Westennial Hall at the back of the church. Parking is available in the big lot off Horsfield Drive.

NOTE: WE WILL BE STARTING THE BUSINESS PORTION OF THE MEETINGS AT 7:00 PM, WITH THE SPEAKER TO FOLLOW BY 7:30 PM. DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45 PM.
