I thought some of you might be int'd in the following free program at the Rust Library in Leesburg, VA. The Rust Library is located at 380 Old Waterford Rd. and can be reached off of Business Rt 15 (not Bypass Rt 15). If coming south from Md, turn right at the Ida Lee Park (w/which the Library shares a parking lot). If comin gnorth, turn left onto North St. which becomes Old Waterford Rd. Joe Coleman, Round Hill, VA ______________ BIRDS: Myths and Facts about Their Survival: Wednesday, April 21, 7:30 p.m. at the Rust Library. While some birds, such as the mockingbird and cardinal, thrive through their relationship with mankind, others are in serious danger. George Fenwick, Head of the American Bird Conservancy, will describe the threats that birds face every day. These threats vary from loss of habitat to pesticides to becoming a meal for our pet cats. Over half of our bird species spend much of the year outside the United States in countries that are not only losing habitat at alarming rates, but still use DDT to control insects. As a results some bird species are declining at rates that threaten their very existence. The American Bird Conservancy, one of the driving forces behind the Partners in Flight Program, is working to ensure that these fascinating creatures of the air not only continue to survive but also to thrive in the 21st century. Mr. Fenwick will explain what each one of us can do to help. --
