Hi Folks, The Cayuga Bird Club is running "Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress" via Zoom again this spring (sigh). BUT, because we know this ahead of time, we can use it as an opportunity to give as a gift to friends/relatives beyond driving distance (or, anywhere!!). Here's our announcement--please share widely and think about people who could take it this year who normally can't--in nursing homes, with commitments in the evening, and so on. Check out our web page for details!
Thanks!! Sandy Podulka p.s. 12 Wild Turkeys at our feeders this morning. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress: If you're looking for a holiday gift for your favorite birder (or yourself), this might be it! This Spring, the Cayuga Bird Club will once again host our popular 8-week course, Spring Ornithology with Steve Kress, online. Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings, March 30 to May 18, 2021, from 7 to 9 pm. Lectures also will be recorded and posted for later viewing, so you can watch or review them at your convenience. Please share this announcement with friends or relatives anywhere who might be interested, including those well beyond driving distance from Ithaca who could actually participate this year because it will be over Zoom! Although the focus is on local birds, topics will interest bird enthusiasts throughout the country. Discussions and Q & A will include the locations where students live. Dr. Stephen Kress's dynamic presentations, with stunning photos and audio recordings, will focus each week on a group of migratory birds that are at the peak of spring migration, with discussions about bird song, migration, courtship, family life, conservation, attracting birds, and creating a bird-friendly habitat. Dr. Kress is the founder of Audubon's Project Puffin and served for many years as Director of the Audubon Seabird Restoration Program and Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine. He is the author of more than ten books about birding, gardening for birds, and seabirds. His lectures about birds have been enjoyed by many people in the Ithaca area and beyond. The course fee is $125.
