Dear KCBC members and friends,
The monthly meeting of the Kent County Bird Club will be held Tuesday,
October 9 at Heron Point in Chestertown, and will feature a program on
"Birding the Bering Sea: Western Alaska Specialties and Asian Vagrants"
by well-traveled birder Phil Davis. The waters north of Alaska's
Aleutian Islands are home to millions of seabirds, which nest on small
remote islands. Many of the nesting birds of St. Lawrence Island,
located only 36 miles from Siberia, have Asian roots, and migrants from
both west and east regularly make landfall there. We hope you can join
us for the meeting and light refreshments afterwards.
Prior to the meeting, you are also invited to attend the opening
reception for "In Pursuit of Beauty: John James Audubon and the Golden
Age of Bird Illustration" from 5 to 7 PM at the Kohl Gallery of Art at
Washington College. If you can't make it on Tuesday, the exhibit
continues through Friday, November 30; regular gallery hours are 1 to 6
PM Wednesday through Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday).
Our meetings begin at 7:30 PM in Wesley Hall, in the Heron Point
community at the end of East Campus Ave in Chestertown. East Campus Ave
is the light on Washington Ave (MD-213) at the south edge of the
Washington College campus. If headed north, turn right, if headed south,
turn left off of Washington Ave. Follow East Campus Ave to the Heron
Point community and bear right on Sassafras Dr, continuing to the large
parking lot at the end. Wesley Hall is upstairs in the building on your
right as you enter the parking area; enter through the large portico.
Thank you,
Nancy Martin, President

Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time
you take a walk.
