The last City of Ottawa Wildlife Speaker Series for 2014 is being held on December 9 at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive. In his presentation, “Winter is for the Birds”, renowned birder and Ottawa Citizen columnist Bruce Di Labio will discuss how Ottawa’s birds spend their winters in and around Ottawa.
Book-ending the formal presentation will be a slideshow of bird images entered by participants in the City’s Bird Photography Contest. The slideshow will showcase not only the birds of the National Capital Region but also the talents of local photographers. Photographers are invited to forward up to three wild bird images made in the Ottawa region to the City via email to wildlife-faune@ottawa.ca.
A three-person jury, comprising Bruce DiLabio; the photo editor from Canadian Geographic; and a professional photographer, will select five winning entries to be printed and displayed for a limited time at City Hall as well as on the City’s web site. Contest closes on December 1, 2014.
The evening will also feature an environmental exposition that will share information on Ottawa’s wildlife, natural environment, and local environmental initiatives.
This event is free of charge.
Let’s show the City the excellent bird photography produced by members of the RAPC!
