The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362 >Map of location<
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT> at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Free
admission. Refreshments served.
QCBC member Steve Walter will present “Damselflies and Dragonflies of Long
Island”.
Damselflies and dragonflies – the Odonata – are one of our most important
groups of insects. They’re all around us, and with their beauty, have grown in
popularity among naturalists. A wide variety of species inhabit or pass
through Long Island, including some that are rare or occur nowhere else in New
York State. Photographs of over 80 species will take you from New York City to
the Pine Barrens to the barrier beaches. A bit about their life histories and
discussion of why they’re here will provide a great primer for those looking to
discover the world of Odonates.
Steve Walter is a long-time naturalist on Long Island, having included in
his pursuits the study of hawk migration, butterfly distribution, and the
surveying of moth populations at several sites. His passion for Odonata has
spanned more than 25 years, and has included the study of their migration, the
New York State Atlas, and the discovery of species not previously recorded on
Long Island.
Hope to see you Wednesday!
