MARCH BIRD CLUB MEETING - CANCELLED
SPRING BIRD WALKS
Thursdays, April & May, 8am @ Nature Center
Led by Bird Club member and expert birder James Ewing, the group walks the trails at a leisurely pace in search of everything from common backyard birds to those amazing migratory warblers. Open to birders of all experience levels! We understand if you need to duck out early to make another appointment. Donuts and hot drinks served at the end of the walk!
APRIL BIRD CLUB MEETING
Tuesday, 4/28/2019, 6pm @ Nature Center
We'll start the meeting with a quick review of some of the warblers that are migrating through our area. Then, we'll hit the Douglas-Hart trails for a group bird walk to practice our skills and share sightings. The walk will be on flat surfaces at a slow pace and is highly accessible. Bring binoculars if you have them.
MAY BIRD CLUB MEETING
Tuesday, 5/26/2020, 6pm @ Nature Center
EIU graduate student Caitlin Mrowiec returns to update us on her research regarding the winter flocks of crows in Charleston. She's collected another winter's worth of data since she last visited us, and will share her final results and findings.
JUNE BIRD CLUB MEETING
