We have a great variety of species of birds on our grounds here at Nipmuc Rod and Gun. I have been actively recording and reporting this information online to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The cumulative eBird database is used by birdwatchers, scientists, and conservationists who want to know more about the distributions and movement patterns of birds across the continent.
I have set up two feeding stations at the club. The stations serve as an observation area for the Jr. Duck Program which aides in teaching students how to identify birds from field manuals and to journal observations. In order to continue this program I need some participation in the program and financial assistance providing habitat and food.
Bill Davis, District Manager of The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife will be coming to our club July 30, at 2:00 P.M. to give a "Eagle Presentation". Bill Davis headed the program here in Massachusetts.
He will be giving a PowerPoint presentation that will give a historical overview of eagles and eagle restoration up into the present day. There will be no fee for the presentation though I would like to have a bake sale to generate funds for the conservation program here at Nipmuc. If you are interested in making a donation of baked goods please contact me at n.wentworth@verizon.net or call me at 508-478-1549.
You may also make donations at the club house.
Just a reminder, a sign up sheet is posted at the club house for students interested in participating in the 2007 Jr. Duck Program. The program will begin June 21. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or "blog it". I am sure other people are interesting in reading someone else's questions or remarks.
