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.
