| OGEECHEE AUDUBON PROGRAM
Feb 16th - Tim Keyes
Have you ever considered that the Painted Bunting or Swallow-tailed Kite that you saw last summer might be your last? Fortunately for us and for several threatened and endangered species of birds, the Georgia coast represents critical habitat where their populations are still "holding on."
The Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources is charged with conserving these and other avian species of concern. Please join Ogeechee Audubon on Tuesday, February 16th, at 7:00 PM, to learn more about their efforts from Tim Keyes, Wildlife Biologist for Non-game Conservation Section of DNR.
Tim will speak about "Conserving Coastal Birds: From Bottomland Forests to Barrier Beaches." He will focus on the coastal birds that our non-game program works with, including Painted Bunting, Wood Stork, Swallow-tailed Kite and seabirds. He'll highlight recent efforts to monitor and conserve this diverse group of species.
The meeting will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, 520 E. Washington Ave, Savannah. The program is free and open to the public. For more information call Beth @ 912-658-6136.
