Owls!!! Voices in the Night
Jim has always had a strong interest in nature, and birds in particular. This comes from his Dad, who painted, sketched and carved birds and animals as a hobby. When he was just a little boy his father took him for walks in the woods on his shoulders because Jim was too small to walk that far. A retired Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA), he now has more time to spend in the field observing and taking photographs, which he loves to share with interested audiences. Jim has had the privilege of serving in a number of related roles as a volunteer, including President of the Saint John Naturalists' Club, Chair of the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund and Chair of the B Bird Records Committee. He provides weekly comments on birds for the Sightings page of the Telegraph-Journal newspaper and contributes from time to time to CBC Radio, discussing nature-related topics.
In 2018 Jim was awarded the national Roland Mitchener Conservation Award by the Canadian Wildlife Federation for outstanding conservation research, and in 2019 was invested into the Order of New Brunswick for his long-term commitment to conservation in this province.
