The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program this Tuesday, November 26, 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. Our presentation will be “The North Nassau Christmas Bird Count” by Stéphane Perreault. The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the longest running Citizen Science Project in North America. Data has been collected by the Northern Nassau CBC for more than a half-century, thus contributing to the sciences of Ornithology and Conservation. This presentation will allow us to share some fascinating local CBC data, winter population trends, and cycles. This presentation is sure to entertain those who already participate, as well as those curious about this important citizen science project. A graduate of McGill University, Stephane participated in field research on the American Redstart, Yellow warbler, Red-breasted Merganser, and Cattle Egret. Stéphane moved to Long Island in 1994, where he remained an avid birder. Although his career has been focused on Biochemistry, he has been conducting professional bird surveys for the Seatuck Environmental Association since 2015.
