Dr. Tih-Fen Ting of the University of Illinois Springfield will join us remotely to present her team's work on the Illinois Osprey Hacking Program. Osprey are state endangered in Illinois, and since 2014 Dr. Ting and her team have been hacking (raising) osprey chicks at Lake Shelbyville and monitoring the birds there for the species’ recovery. You are sure to learn a lot about this exciting local topic!
FALL BIRD WALKS
Thursdays, September & October, 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.
SEPTEMBER BIRD CLUB MEETING
Tuesday, 9/29/2020, 5pm @ Nature Center
PLEASE NOTE THE 5 PM START TIME THIS MONTH!
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. If you're an amateur birder (like many of us!), this is the perfect way to see birds you'd never spot on your own. We'll see you there!
