On the night of September 13th, 2013, a flock of songbirds on their migratory journey south was attracted, 'like moths to a flame', to a hundred-foot-high flare at the Canaport Liquefied Natural Gas plant in Saint John, New Brunswick. The result was tragic, with 7,500 to 10,000 birds of twenty-six species-mostly wood warblers, including the endangered Canada Warbler-being killed by heat and flames. In 2015, Canaport LNG accepted full responsibility for the bird mortality and was fined 750,000 dollars under the Migratory Birds Convention Act and the Species at Risk Act. The Migratory Birds Convention Act came into force in 1917, and this book commemorates the centenary of that occasion.
