Monday, October 9, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Who goes there? Birding with Infrared Thermography Speaker: Suan Yong Infrared Thermography allows one to see the temperature of everyday objects. It can highlight warm objects against a cooler background, making it a great tool for finding birds and other warm-blooded animals. A few years ago, when affordable thermal cameras appeared on the market, Suan decided to try using them to see if he could find owls in the night or bitterns in the marsh. He has done both, as well as follow a woodcock skydance, count migrants in the night sky, and track a grouse through thick brush. Suan will share his experiences with this technology. Suan Yong is a software scientist at GrammaTech in Ithaca. His interest in the natural world began as a boy growing up in Malaysia collecting butterflies, and shifted to birding in 2007 after moving to Ithaca. He regularly leads bird walks for the Cayuga Bird Club, Spring Field Ornithology, and other events at the Lab of Ornithology.If there is interest, we can follow the talk with a short walk into Sapsucker woods to see if we find anything interesting. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. All are welcome. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. Members: Please remember that we will be voting for a slate of officers. Members are invited to join Suan for dinner at Taste of Thai Express (downtown on Rt. 13N) just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club ____________________________________________________________ How To Remove Eye Bags & Lip Lines Fast (Watch) Fit Mom Daily http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/59d81034cc5ba1034058dst04duc --
