The Montezuma Audubon Center is pleased to welcome Dave Odell on Saturday, December 10 at 1:00 PM for a lecture about the role of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex in the Atlantic Flyway. The Montezuma Wetlands Complex is a special place when it comes to birds and other wildlife. It holds a unique position in the Atlantic Waterfowl Flyway, and has been recognized in several state, national and international planning documents for its significance to waterfowl and many other species of birds. Our speaker, Dave Odell, has served on international committees tasked with writing those plans. He will share his knowledge about the Montezuma Wetlands Complex and the very important role it plays in the lives of birds both locally and in the western hemisphere. Dave Odell is retired from a 35+ year career with the NYSDEC as a Wildlife Biologist and Regional Wildlife Manager specializing in waterfowl and wetlands management. Dave moved to this area in 1992 to oversee the Northern Montezuma Wetlands Project, acquiring and restoring the land that was to become the Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Houghton College and a Master’s in Zoology and Wildlife Management from SUNY ESF. Dave is on the board of directors of the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Space is limited. Registration is required.
