Armed with a keen eye and curiosity, Jim Wilson has watched birds in New Brunswick for decades. Recently, Wilson saw his 400th species of bird, but the search continues for the next one.
Armed with a keen eye and curiosity, he lugs his binoculars and spotting scope to marshes, beaches and nature reserves across New Brunswick, as he has for decades. Wilson is always on the lookout for a bird, especially if it’s one not yet added to list: of the approximately 442 bird species noted to exist in New Brunswick, Wilson has seen 400 of them.“I was lucky enough to hit that milestone just recently. It was a Wilson’s plover. No relation,” he joked.
Observers submit a report—hopefully backed up with video, audio or photographic evidence—of the bird they’ve seen. His father first got him interested in birds as a boy. Soon to be 77, he’s still at it and plans to keep adding to his list. He’s aiming for 500.Tips and tricks for the trade You may think the baking soda lurking in the back of your cupboard is only useful for absorbing gross refrigerator smells, cleaning produce or making baked goods.Celine Dion's management team along with her record label, Sony, took exception to and disavowed the use of her multi-award-winning song "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump/J.D.
