Bird migration research has confirmed a precipitous drop in the population of birds. The loss of native trees and shrubs that provide the calorie-rich berries that birds need to survive is cited as a major reason. Join Peconic Land Trust for a presentation with North Fork Audubon board member, Ellen Birenbaum to learn how you can help! The Berries for Birds presentation reviews the science of co-evolution of native plants, insects and birds, the nutritional properties of berries by season, and describes in detail the wide range of berry producing trees and shrubs that are native to the North Fork.

October is the peak time for this migration and ospreys, red-tailed hawks, all three accipiters, and the three falcons may be seen. Also, bald eagles are becoming more common.

Are you curious about bird watching, but don’t know the first thing about how to do it? Or have you ever been on a birding field trip and said to yourself “this stuff is for the birds,” meaning I’m not seeing what everybody else is seeing! Or maybe you’re thinking “I can’t see anything through these binoculars,” etc.
Well, now you can join Tom Damiani on “small group” field trips with a focus on effectively using binoculars, finding birds using them, and finding the best habitats for birds.
These outings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month, at Laurel Lake Preserve from 8 - 10 AM.
