e-Bird Monitoring at Pickering Creek Audubon Center E-bird monitoring, led by members of the Talbot County Bird Club, takes place on the first Monday and third Saturday of each month. A census of birds taken on those days is recorded on the eBird site and used to accumulate an historical record of bird species and numeracy-- and to provide Pickering with a specific record of its bird populations, especially important as we increase wetland habitat. Volunteers are needed to assist the leaders by spotting birds and assisting in the recording of data. To register or ask questions, call 410-822-4903 ***************************************************************************** 35th Annual Spaghetti Dinner Saturday, April 22, 2017, 6PM Travel to Cuba with Hugh Simmons When one thinks of Cuba one thinks of the Fidel Castro, the Bay of Pigs, missiles, Kennedy, communism, politics and refugees. But this island, only 90 miles off the coast of Florida, has a rich natural history, with passionate local naturalists and birders who care deeply about the island and its unique flora and fauna. Cuba boasts a rich biodiversity including 26 endemic bird species and is an important migratory stopover. Traveling to Cuba under a U.S. Department of Treasury humanitarian license to census birds, Hugh and his fellow travelers experienced a relatively unfiltered view of life in Cuba. Birders do not tend to stay on the main roads. Through photographs this presentation will give the audience a glimpse at Cuba's unique birds and the fascinating history and culture of the land they call home. Hugh Simmons is a photographer with a passion for birds and wildlife. He likes to use his photography to support conservation and appreciation of the natural world. Hugh currently serves on the board of directors of the National Audubon Society and is President of Chesapeake Audubon Society.
