Garry Donaldson Measuring Egg

Garry measuring the size and weight of thick-billed Murre eggs at Prince Leopold Island, Nunavut which, when done over many years, gives us an indication of the health of the seabird colony.

Nature photography and exploring the natural spaces in the Maritimes from his home in Sackville, New Brunswick, takes up much of his time these days. When not doing that, he enjoys having the time to volunteer with organizations like the Tantramar Seniors College and the Sable Island Institute.
