> The main presentation will be Journey to the Most Remote Place on  
> Earth: Magnificent Migrations of the Greater Shearwater by  Dr. Rob  
> Ronconi, Greater Shearwaters are among the most abundant seabirds  
> in the North Atlantic summer, yet we know very little about them.  
> Since 2005, the Grand Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station has  
> been studying shearwaters in the Bay of Fundy where they spend  
> their winter (our summer) fattening up for long distance  
> migrations. Dr. Ronconi will be presenting on the trials and  
> tribulations of working with these magnificent seabirds. Highlights  
> include the first ever deployments of satellite tags on Greater  
> Shearwaters which documented their habitat use in the Maritimes and  
> long distance migrations to Tristan da Cunha. From a birds-eye  
> view, Dr. Ronconi will explore the ecological diversity of our  
> oceans and the conservation challenges that face our seabirds.
