SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Raptor Quest Chasing America's Raptors
DESCRIPTION:Scott Harris spent 17 months in pursuit of the 53 raptors that call the Lower 48 states home. Across 34 states\, from -36 degree days to ones over 100 degrees\, to just getting on the bird just in time\, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes\, Scott found all 53\, along with a Bat Falcon\, a Steller’s Sea Eagle\, and an Eurasian Eagle Owl. \nRaptorQuest\, Chasing America’s Raptors\, is about his adventures\, misadventures\, successes\, and failures. It’s about the birds\, of course\, but it’s also about the people he met\, the things he learned\, and why he’s already working on his next adventure. \nScott and his wife\, Randi\, retired to South Carolina in March of 2020\, a decision Scott will tell you was one of the best they had made in their 45 years of marriage. It was also when he first started birding – a hobby he never imagined himself participating in\, but now can’t imagine living without. \nRegister to get Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Under South African Skies
DESCRIPTION:The southern tip of Africa is one of the greatest biodiversity hotspots in the world and attracts birders\, botanists and mammal enthusiasts from around the globe. Harboring a multitude of endemic birds\, the classic African mammals\, and a rich and unique botanical heritage\, the multi-ethnic nation of South Africa stands out as a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts. \nThe Cape Peninsula\, often called the “Jewel of South Africa”\, offers spectacular\, wild\, rugged scenery that is home to penguins\, ostriches\, several types of antelope\, and the unique “fynbos” vegetation. Further into the interior of the country\, the world renowned Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa and is home to lions\, leopards\, elephants\, and giraffes and more than 500 species of birds. \nThis program chronicles a journey from the Cape Peninsula up to Kruger National Park with vivid photos of birds\, animals and stunning landscapes and describes what it is like to travel in this varied and sometimes distinctly un-African country. \nA naturalist and birder for more than thirty years\, Gina Nichol first became fascinated with the natural world in rural upstate New York where she spent most of her childhood out of doors. In 2005\, Gina founded Sunrise Birding\, LLC to offer personalized\, authentic\, affordable private and small group bird watching and wildlife tours around the world. \nRegister to get Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Eagle Watch at Shepaug Dam
DESCRIPTION:The Shepaug Dam Bald Eagle Observation Area has provided visitors with views of wintering Bald Eagles for 30 years. The Shepaug Hydroelectric Station keeps the water below the dam to be ice-free in winter and the churning water brings fish close to the surface making it a place that Bald Eagles are able to find food in the coldest of winter. \nWe will be at the observation area for about an hour. There are no facilities besides porta-potties. Dress warmly in layers. Bring lunch\, binoculars\, and cameras. \nThe drive time between Shepaug Dam and the Menunkatuck chapter towns is between 45 and 75 minutes. \nSpace is limited to 20 participants so reservations are required. For more information email Carl Harvey at carl@menunkatuck.org.
