It's that time of the month again...time for the PG Audubon and Patuxent Bird Club meeting! This meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 8, at the College Park Airport Annex, beginning at 7:30. See our web site for more information and for directions to the meeting place. We had a phenomenal turnout for our last meeting (and rightly so - Scott Weidensaul did an amazing job!), and it would be wonderful to get a good turnout for this program. From our web page: >>Matt Perry - "Tracking the Elusive Scoter to its Breeding Grounds" Join award-winning wildlife biologist Matt Perry for a presentation based on his current research. The life histories of sea ducks, and especially Scoters, are the least understood of North American birds. The Black Scoter winters in the Chesapeake Bay - well offshore - but most of its breeding range was not even known before this study. Using implanted transmitters and satellite tracking, Matt traced these ducks to their breeding grounds in remote northern Quebec. Much interesting new information is now coming to light. This is an exciting intersection of rugged field work in primitive conditions with modern space-age telemetry.<< Again, visit our web site ( http://www.pgaudubon.org )for more information. Hope to see you there!
