*October 27, 2016 – 7:30 pm * *Clay Christensen – Birdman of Lauderdale * *Birds' Nests: HOW do they DO that?*
How does a Baltimore Oriole make that graceful hanging nest so high up in the tree? What is a woodpecker cavity nest like inside? What birds nest in tunnels? This talk includes photos of birds at their nests and diagrams showing how nests are made. Clay is the always entertaining author of "The Birdman of Lauderdale" based on the many columns he wrote for the local Park Bugle newspaper. His publisher has made copies of his book available for free to attendees of this program. ---------------------------------------------------------- *When:* Please join us on the 4th Thursday of the month from 7:00-7:30 pm to socialize over cookies.
