Our regular visits to Turtle Bay and Kutras Lake always showcase a great cross-section of raptors, waterfowl, gulls, and winter resident passerines. They can be seen close up with usually a surprise or two on this ½-day walk. We will assemble in the parking area behind the monolith at Turtle Bay. This walk with Debbie Anderson is open to the public and all birding skill levels are welcome.

The Ordinary, Extraordinary Junco
We are all familiar with our winter feathered friend, the Dark-eyed Junco – but did you know that it is the “rock star” of avian research?
“The Ordinary, Extraordinary Junco” is a DVD about the Junco Project. It traces the history of the Dark-eyed Junco as a study subject from the first discovery that day length regulates migration, physiology, breeding and other behaviors in birds to how DNA is used to determine the origin and interrelatedness of Junco races in North America. It also shows research scientists in realistic action, including little rivalries in finding nests. Linda Aldrich will provide a brief introduction to this DVD provided by a lab in Bloomington, Indiana.
