RECENT BIRD ALERT:
Since early February, a male Long-tailed Duck has been seen on the pond behind Hardee's in Verona. Since late December, a Loggerhead Shrike has been seen occasionally in the upland portion of Bell's Lane, hunting from small trees near the ponds.

PROGRAM FOR MARCH 11 MEETING:
Attracting Birds with Water
presented by Bob Schamerhorn
Our next "Birds & Brews, Wings & Wine" social hour will be: TBA
Wednesday, February 27th was a beautiful if rather chilly day, as eight members of the Augusta Bird Club went on a field trip McCormick's Mill Farm. Although the species count was a relatively modest 26, there were some excellent bird sightings. Most noteworthy were the immature Red-tailed Hawk and two Golden-crowned Kinglets, along with Robins, Phoebe, and Red-winged blackbirds. The side trip to Willow Lake did not disappoint. There were many species of ducks, and the Bald Eagle flying overhead filled my heart and soul with happiness.
