Meeting Reminder -- Our October Meeting
Reminder: Our next meeting will be on Monday, October 20.
We hope to see some potential new members who visited our table at the Join or Die event at the War Memorial on October 1. Please note that the correct date is the 20th, not the 15th!
Our program that night will be "The Ivory-billed Woodpecker," presented by Ray Stocking.
This program highlights one of the first great conservation showdowns in the United States: the need to fulfill man's demand for fashion, land, and timber, versus efforts to save the "Lord God Bird," the Ivory-billedWoodpecker. With the twentieth anniversary of the "rediscovery" of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and the immediate backlash from many experts following the announcement, we will review what has occurred since then, including a massive search by the federal government, independent sightings, and what lies ahead.
Ray Stocking is a former president of the Washtenaw Audubon Society, and former board chair for the Michigan Audubon Board of Directors, and a passionate bird watcher. Ray lives in Ann Arbor.
