February's meeting will get us preparing for spring! Local purple-martin enthusiast and advocate Ervin Hostettler will share his expertise about purple martins and martin houses. Why can't purple martins survive without houses? What does providing a martin house involve?
Don't forget to bring your "recent birds" list and questions for the group!
Looking Ahead:
March 31st: James Ewing, understanding bird nests. Linda Foster shares Tips for Beginning Birders
April 28th: Matt Fain presents "Why Downy Woodpeckers and Hairy Woodpeckers look so much alike" (rescheduled)
*March may bring an opportunity to hear the woodcocks displaying at dusk!
*Past April, we will probably want to use our meeting time to go birding together!
*Start thinking about any field trips or special opportunities you would like to put together for spring.
Tyler Funk mentioned going to see the plovers migrating in northern Coles County in April.
