Hello Fellow Naturalists. This is an exciting time for our Club in our centenary year. Our new book," Hamilton Naturalists' Club, 1919-2019: A Centennial Celebration in Stories and Pictures" (see front cover) will be available to purchase at the book launch on 7 October, prior to the October Annual General Meeting. The launch will start at 6:30 with the regular meeting starting at the usual 7:30 time. The book will cost $25.00 and can be paid for by cash or cheque. I have been involved in reviewing it and I can tell you that it is a most interesting read with a wonderful assortment of photos to enjoy. In these 150 pages there are stories from 63 HNC members and photographs from over 40 members. Enough copies have been printed that we won’t run short, but if you want to reserve a copy, please check the website in the next few days. You can contact me if this does not work for you. Also at the book launch, and at the September meeting, we will have our new Centenary Commemorative Pin available. You can see details on the opposite page. Beth Jefferson was tireless in her efforts to get this idea off the ground and to make it happen. Barry Cherriere has provided a great photograph of a Wood Duck for this pin - how appropriate. I also want to remind you of our 100th Anniversary Dinner at Liuna Station on Saturday November 2. Information on this gala can be seen on page 2 - inside the front cover - and tickets will be for sale at the 9 September Monthly Meeting as well at the 16 September Bird Study Group meeting. Other anniversary items available for sale at the September meeting are the new Hamilton Area Bird Checklist 2019 ($2.00) and the new updated Date Guide to the Birds of the Hamilton Study Area ($5.00).

  • Noteworthy Bird Records Fall (September to November) 2020
    Hamilton Study Area Noteworthy Bird Records Fall (September to November) 2020 Scarlet Tanager at Malvern Rd, Burlington 16 September 2020 - photo Phil Waggett. Hello, This is the new format of the Noteworthy Bird Records for the Hamilton Naturalists's Club. After more than 70 years of bird records being published almost monthly in the Wood Duck, the journal of the HNC, this is the first time they have been published in a separate publication. Seventy years is a very long time and it is with heavy heart that I break with this tradition. It is not done without a lot of reflection. I would have preferred that the NBR continue in theWood Duck as before, but these records were taking up more and more space in that publication and perhaps limiting the inclusion of other articles. To try to reduce the size of the NBR, I had taken to making the type face smaller and smaller which was making it increasingly difficult to read (difficult enough already with the reams and reams of records). I had asked for comments from Club members about whether or not they wanted to see the NBR continue within the Wood Duck or in a separate format. I did not get many replies. However, of those few replies, all of them suggested removing the NBR from the Wood Duck. This is what I have done. I have made this decision while I am still a co-editor of the Wood Duck. Soon I will no longer be the editor and I cannot expect future editors to publish these voluminous reports.

    TO: Mayor and Members WARD(S) AFFECTED: CITY WIDE Board of Health COMMITTEE DATE: November 28, 2011 SUBJECT/REPORT NO: Public Health Services 2011 Public Beach Sampling Summary Report BOH11042 (City Wide) SUBMITTED BY: PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Richardson, MD, MHSc, FRCPC Eric Mathews Medical Officer of Health (905) 546-2424 ext. 2186 Public Health Services Department SIGNATURE: Council Direction: N/A Information: Executive Summary This Report is an update to the Board of Health regarding the water quality at Hamilton’s public beaches and what Public Health Services does to monitor the water quality at these beaches. Public Works, Public Health Services, Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan (RAP), National Water Research Institute, and the Bay Area Restoration Council (BARC) have been working together to improve the water quality at Hamilton Harbour Beaches. Measures including keeping birds off the beach and beach maintenance that have been in place at Pier 4 Beach since August 2005 have improved the water quality significantly at that beach (see Graph 2 – page 4). There is an opportunity to improve the water quality at Bayfront Park Beach as well.
