[cayugabirds-l] CBC Field Trip Sunday

[Ann Mitchell]

Hi,
I am leading a trip around the lake on Sunday the 11th from 8:00 to 4:00, 
meeting at the east side of Stewart Park to carpool. Come a little early.

The plan is to see waterfowl, Snowy Owls (hopefully), field birds, raptors, 
etc.  Bring snacks, lunch, something to drink. We will make a stop or two for a 
break and to get food.  Please dress warmly, wear boots.  Bring a scope if you 
have one.  Hopefully, the weather won’t derail the trip! See you Sunday!! Call 
or email me with questions - 607-230-8440 or annmitchel...@gmail.com.
Ann

[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl dissection

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Mar. 3, Saturday, 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Owl Dissection & Discussion Workshop


Please join the Audubon staff for our first public owl dissection and 
discussion! Learn how we came to be in possession of these federally protected 
birds and about the management efforts that are occurring in the western U.S. 
If you've ever wanted to see an owl up close and personal, this is your chance! 
There will be an opportunity for each attendee to explore the internal and 
external anatomy of their own study owl if they wish, and to dissect a bird 
while learning all about unique owl adaptations along the way. Gloves, 
dissecting kits, and owls will be provided. All children must be accompanied by 
a parent. PRE-PAID RESERVATIONS REQUIRED by Feb. 28. Fee: $10/child; $15/adult, 
$40/family.
