The meeting on June 18 will be at Brookside Park in Ames at 6:30 pm. We are going to change it up a bit to have some learning activities for people. This will be a dinner picnic with bring-your-own sack dinner (if you would like to bring one). If you have bincoluars, bring them so you can practice various skills, & compare your set to others. Some of the activities we will have include: Techniques for using binoculars, dissecting owl pellets, painting a small birdfeeder, identifying bird calls & various species in Iowa, going on a bird walk around Brookside to see what local habitats have around you.
If you are interested in leading any of these activities, such as if you are great at using binoculars, hearing bird calls, identifying rodents in owl pellets, or want to lead a short bird walk that evening, please contact Heather Sanders.
