| "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Albert Einstein |
"Wilderness…the word suggests the past and
the unknown, the womb or earth from which we
all emerged. It means something lost and
something still present, something remote
and at the same time, intimate, something
buried in our blood and nerves, something
beyond us and without limit."
Edward Abbey |

Announcement
An Old Friend With a New Name |
|
The Huntington Audubon Society has changed it name
to Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society!
The name change more accurately represents the local
communities that our chapter members live in and the
area which the organization’s charter area encompasses.
We will be transitioning over to the new name in the
next few months and look forward to continuing to
represent ALL of our members!

Workshop
Birds and Birding – The Basics and Beyond Workshop Series |
 Did you know that birds can detect magnetic fields
or that a Blue Jay’s feather is not really blue? Or
that birds breathe differently than people and that
some birds can catch prey in complete darkness? Do
you want to know why some birds eat clay? Want to
know effective steps you can take to help birds? If
these questions pique your curiosity and you want to
deepen your understanding and appreciation of birds,
then we encourage you to participate in this
three-part monthly series of workshops given by John
Turner, Conservation Chair of Huntington-Oyster Bay
Audubon. After the first workshop, a field
trip to view winter waterfowl will be held to
apply your newly polished bird identification
skills!
