The Montezuma Audubon Center is pleased to welcome New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Wildlife Technician Frank Morlock on Saturday, April 13 at 1:00 PM for a presentation about the American Black Duck. Once the most abundant fresh-water duck in eastern North America, the black duck population declined steadily for three decades and reached an all-time low in the 1980s. Mr. Morlock will discuss the physiology and history of the Black Duck, historic population levels, and management efforts taking place at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex and across the Atlantic Flyway, focusing on the winter banding program. A guided walk to search for waterfowl will follow the lecture. Fee: $3/child; $5/adult, $15/family, FREE for Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Space is limited and registration is required. Please call 315-365-3588 or e-mail montez...@audubon.org.
