Next Meeting
Date: Friday, April 19, 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7:00 p.m.)
Speaker: Ted Cheskey
Topic: Birding from the Balcony to Saving Bird Lives
Birding can take many forms—from hiking for miles across various landscapes to staying close to home. In this presentation, Ted Cheskey will discuss the transition from car-dependent listing to birding from the balcony. Along the way, Ted has been doing his part to save bird lives in his yard, and in his country. He says that life has been pretty good, despite the bumpy road, and he looks forward to sharing his story and a few things he has learned along the way. Ted is a lifelong birder and naturalist. Along his life’s trajectory, he has spent about half his professional career as a nature educator, and half in conservation work with a focus on birds.
Note: This meeting takes place a week early, as the Cobourg Public Library needs the space for another event on April 26.

Next Outing

A Big Sit. Leaders: S. McLernon and H. Muscheid
A Big Sit is a fun birding outing where you set up a chair in a bird-friendly location and wait and see what birds visit. Our chosen location is prime for migration viewing. Sherwood McLernon and Helga Muscheid have graciously offered their property for our outing. Located near Chub Point, along the lakefront, their property regularly receives a wide variety of species that have just crossed the lake and land in their trees to rest and refuel. This is a great outing for new and experienced birders alike. No walking required – just bring a chair, your binos and a scope, if you have one. And cameras are welcome, too.
Location: 191 Chub Point Road, Grafton
Please email willowbeachfn@gmail.com if you plan to attend. (Having a headcount helps us get the refreshments right!)
Note: This outing is weather dependent, so the date may change.
