Marion Audubon Society

Interesting birds are drawn to water treatment pools however these are off-limits due to being on private property. Even looking thru the fence is prohibited.

Now is your chance! The facility has offered to give us a private tour to explain the water cleaning process and give us a chance to look into the pools for wintering birds.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
This will be entirely outdoors and involves climbing steep, metal, open stairs and walking along a raised open grid, metal catwalk. Due to the height of the walkway, expect windy and possibly cold weather (even if the weather on the ground is decent).

*Make sure to check back here before the event for updates or changes due to weather.

• LIMITED to 15 members based on RSVP thru Meetup.

This event is for paid members of Marion Audubon. You can join or renew thru our website to have access to this or other events.

Join us as Heather Wolf, Brooklyn-based birder, photographer, educator and author discusses her new book “Find More Birds.” Heather works at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology as a web developer for sites including eBird and BirdCast.

Join us for National Audubon's 124th Christmas Bird Count!

For this annual event, we break into teams and cover a section of a 15-mile circle taking a census of every bird we can find. It's a fun opportunity to see birds, while meeting new people and contributing to science. The data we collect is analyzed by Cornell to determine changes to bird populations and territory over time.

If you would like to participate, please indicate interest here by the end of October. Teams will be assigned in November.

Mitch will talk to us about seabirds, warblers, Civil War forts, tropical fish and choppy seas. These are just a few of the many incredible things he encountered during his camping trip to the beautiful and isolated Dry Tortugas National Park last April. Ever since moving from Southern California to Florida to start graduate school, he has wanted to visit the Dry Tortugas but didn't know much about it. What is there to do on the island? What birds can be seen and when should you visit? Through photography, Mitch will show you his experience and help you design the perfect trip to this mysterious national park in the middle of the Atlantic!
