[nysbirds-l] "Goatsuckers of Long Island" by John Turner - NSAS Meeting this Tuesday, November 27, 2018

2018-11-25 Thread Nancy Tognan 
The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program on Tuesday, 
November 27, 2018, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30 
Onderdonk Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030.  All are invited, free of charge.

Public transit users:  This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset 
LIRR station.

  John Turner will present  “Goatsuckers of Long Island – Nighthawk, 
Whip-poor-will and Chuck-will’s-widow” 
The three "goatsucker" species found on Long Island comprise one of the 
more interesting groups of native birds.  This program will explore basic 
aspects of their biology and ecology, and detail efforts to better understand 
their overall population numbers here, including the "Frank Melville Stone 
Bridge Nighthawk Watch".   You'll also learn the folklore behind why they are 
called goatsuckers.
John Turner is a Long Island naturalist, conservationist, writer, and a 
founding member of the Long Island Nature Organization and Long Island Pine 
Barrens Society. He currently serves as a Conservation Policy Advocate for the 
Seatuck Environmental Association and Conservation Chair of the Four Harbors 
Audubon Society.
