SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Western CT Bird Club: Talk - Bird Migration by Chris Wood
DESCRIPTION:The WCBC meeting Feb. 19 failed due to technical glitches and now Chris Wood has agreed to reschedule his talk for Tuesday\, March 3 at 7:00 pm on Zoom. \nRescheduled Meeting – via Zoom \n\n\n\n \n\n\nTitle:  Bird Migration and Connecticut\n \n\nWho: Christopher Wood\, Past President of the COA \n \n\n\n\n\n Chris Wood has been a birder and photographer for over 50 years. He has a Master’s Degree in biology and studied under famed ornithologist Dr. Noble Proctor.  Chris is retired after a career as a state government executive\, a land conservation and management planner with The Nature Conservancy\, a municipal planner\, and a private land use consultant.  He is a past president of the Connecticut Ornithological Association\, a founding member of the Western Connecticut Bird Club\, and he served as chair of the first Connecticut Breeding Bird Atlas steering committee.  Chris now spends much of his time photographing birds and nature\, traveling to the neotropics and southwest US to see and photograph as many different hummingbirds as possible\, and helping maintain their yard and gardens in Woodbury Connecticut.  Chris’s photography can be sampled here: CSWood PhotoSampler\n \n\n\nDescription:  The natural phenomenon of bird migration is easily observed and studied in Connecticut due to the state’s location\, geography\, and habitat diversity.  Wood will present an overview of bird migration\, with particular consideration of where Connecticut fits into the big picture of bird conservation and the enjoyment of the hobby of birding.  With a state list of over 450 birds\, many of which are migrants through the state\, Connecticut birders have the opportunity to see well over one quarter of all the bird species found in the United States.  Sustaining necessary habitats for breeding birds and migrants in our highly developed state is an important goal for land conservation efforts and this presentation discusses efforts and strategies to attain that goal.\n \nFree and open to the public.\n \n\n\nTo request the link\, please contact Chris Wood at cwood022@gmail.com.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
