[BNS_members] Call for Photos for 2022 BNS Natural History Calendar

[Patrick Kelly]

Hello everyone:

Due to an error on by part, this notice did not get into the last newsletter.

Photo submissions are invited for possible use in the 26th edition of the Blomidon Naturalists Society’s Natural History Calendar. Submissions should be in electronic form: JPEG format, with file
size between 500 kB and 3 MB.

Photos should be of natural history interest, preferably taken in Nova Scotia. Please submit no more than ten (10) images.

Suitability involves technical quality (sharp focus, not under- or over-exposed), composition (object of interest nicely positioned, no distracting background), content (a photo that calendar users will enjoy looking at for a month). The committee tries to match images to the months, so pictures from “not summer” are appreciated! The committee tries not to reuse subjects which have appeared in the past several years of calendars. To that end, here is a listing of the subjects used in the calendars from 2019 to 2021:

2019: Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red Squirrel, Muskrat, Ostrich Ferns, Sundew, Monarch Caterpillar and Milkweed, Jack-o’lantern Mushroom, Minas Basin and Cape Blomidon, Golden Spindles, Lake with Autumn Colours in Trees, Ring-necked Pheasant.

2020: Hooded Merganser, Coastal Ice, Star-tipped Reindeer Lichen, Seals, Garter Snake, Red Trillium, Wilson's Snipe, Black-and-White Warbler, Luna Moth, Rattlesnake Plantain, Semi-palmated Sandpiper, Veinless Freckle-pelt Lichen, Northern Harrier.

2021; White-breasted Nuthatch, Great Horned Owl, Purple Sandpiper, Honey Bees, Freshwater Mussel, Frog, Blackburnian Warbler, Hummingbird Moth, Hudsonian Godwit, Ghost Pipes, Wharf and Salt Marsh, Pear-shaped Puffballs, Pileated Woodpecker.

Send submissions to: patrick.kelly at dal.ca<mailto:patrick.kelly at dal.ca>

Deadline for submissions: Wednesday, September 15, 2021,

Pat
