The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, October 13, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15.
Our speaker, Julie Zickefoose, a writer, artist and naturalist at home in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio, will give her presentation “The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds”. “Every day, I roam our 80 acre wildlife sanctuary, and every day I find something new. This deep relationship with the land is the wellspring for my writing and art. “ Join writer/artist Julie Zickefoose for an evening exploring the intersection of birds and spirituality in our lives. Can a bird become a demigod to some? Can certain species achieve the level of a totem or spirit guide? Are there phenomena that occur at the intersection of man and nature that cannot be explained by conventional means? These are concepts that have surfaced over a lifetime of helping broken birds and mothering those who are orphaned, and in so doing coming to know birds from the inside out. A scientist at heart, Julie has lately found herself wondering more than knowing. This talk will help you keep your spirit “open to the thrust of grace,” thinking about the unexplainables in your own life. Members are invited to dinner with Julie before the meeting at 5:30 at Aladdins in Collegetown. Please RSVP by noon Monday to cl...@juno.com so reservations can be made. Hope to see you Monday! Colleen Richards Correspondence Secretary Cayuga Bird Club ************************* And if interested: Julie will also be doing a talk for the Cornell Plantations called, "Personal Habitat: Creating a Haven for Wildlife (and Yourself)" - the story of an artist's love affair with a piece of land, and the birds, animals, and plants that inhabit it. Simple habitat enhancements can take a back yard from bland to bustling with wildlife. In this talk, artist/writer Julie Zickefoose shows how she and her husband have transformed their abandoned farm into a wildlife sanctuary and observatory—a perfect personal habitat. Date/time: Wednesday, October 15; 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. Cost: Free; no-registration is required.
