November Meeting: Fletcher Smith “Birding and Research Above the Arctic Circle”
November Meeting: Fletcher Smith “Birding and Research Above the Arctic Circle”
NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SECOND WEDNESDAY, NOT THE USUAL THIRD. We will join forces with the Historic Rivers Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists to hear research biologist Fletcher Smith speak. His talk, called “Birding and Research Above the Arctic Circle”, will be sharing with us information about the birds and animals encountered during each summer over the three years he lived in a field camp on the tundra on Bathurst Island in the Arctic Circle.
Many thanks to Jan for leading us around the park. One of the highlights was the Osprey flying over Queen’s Creek. And of course, Andy’s granddaughter.
Standing: Scott Hemler, Laura Mae, Sue Mutell, Nancy Barnhart, Bill Williams, Andy Hawkins, George Martin Sitting: Jan Lockwood, Joyce Lowry, Andy’s granddaughter, Susan Wolfe, Cheryl Jacobson, Shirley Devan
