nLake Erie Bird Club to meet Monday
1/20/2007 - The Lake Erie Bird Club will meet Monday at 7:30 p.m. at BOCES, Fredonia-Stockton Road. Terry Mosher will present a program called “What’s All the Singing About?” Using taped songs of seven common birds of Chautauqua County, the talk will focus on the beauty of their singing, the many functions of their songs, and the surprising size of their vocal repertories. All who are interested in birds are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.
On New Year’s Day, 22 Lake Erie Bird Club members participated in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count covering Northern Chautauqua County. Members observed a total of 54 species and 4,584 individual birds. Highlights of the count included 139 double-crested cormorants, 27 hooded mergansers, two ruddy ducks, one bald eagle, 24 red-tailed hawks, three rough-legged hawks, five ring-necked pheasants, 119 American coot, one Carolina wren, three golden-crowned kinglets and three red-winged blackbirds. Paul Farver and Joanne Goetz served as compilers for the count.
At their December meeting, the club members held their annual holiday raffle. Funds from the raffle are used for magazine subscriptions to “Bird Watcher’s Digest” for the Fredonia, Dunkirk and Silver Creek public libraries. Refreshments for the meeting were provided by Jeanine Smith and Margaret Braun.
