Birds of Central Park

His article, "Birds of Central Park," was published in the March 2007 issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine. Cal spends much of his free time roaming NewYork City's Central Park with his camera. Central
Park has its own wildlife and also serves as an oasis for migrating birds, especially in the fall and the spring.Thus it is a significant attraction for birders.

The Baiting Hollow Hummingbird Sanctuary
Speaker: Paul Adams
Paul Adams, a scientist specializing in neurobiology, was born in 1947 in Leeds, England, and educated at Cambridge University.He moved to Stony Brook in 1982,where he is still a professor. He relaxes by watching, and gardening for, hummingbirds, at a three acre "sanctuary" overlooking Long Island Sound just north of Riverhead.The sanctuary was first opened to the public in 1999 for a single day, to prove that there were indeed lots of hummingbirds. This was so popular it has continued ever since. Since then hummingbird numbers have plummeted, but some are still around.
Join us for nature programs and membership meetings at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. Programs start with an informal nature chat at 7:15pm on a topic to be announced at the meeting. Refreshments are served and everyone is welcome to attend. Main program begins at 8:00pm.
