Bird Club Reports
On Programs, Trips
By HELEN SMITH « Extension Agent, Home Economics
In October 1995 a new 4-H Club ’ for children interested in birds was organized under the leadership of Sue Benner and Joe Garvin.
On Feb. 13 Dr. Garvin discussed Breeding and Nesting Behaviors of birds. On Feb. 24 the club took a field trip to Airlie to observe the Ultra Goose- Project. Ms. Benner explained “that the ultra goose project is teaching geese to migrate using ultra light aircraft. The purpose is to teach them new migration routes. The reason this project is being conducted is because I if it is successful in teaching a nonendangered species (like a goose), then it can be taught to an endangered ; species so that they can migrate to a more protective habitat.” ' • On Jan. 9 the club members had a . program on Eastern Waterfowl and in ■ -December they had a program on Owls.
At their next meeting on March ‘12 they will learn about Bird songs, their forms and functions. It will teach * them how to identify local bird calls and their ^purpose. ’ Individual members reported on Isome individual projects. Harris ' Evans is working on a blue bird house trail. Jeremy Slack is participating this winter in a feeder watch program sponsored by Cornell University. * As you can see by this report, the < 4-H Bird Club has done some really ! exciting'and educational activities this ; year. It meets on the second Tuesday ! of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the , Extension Office. If you’re interested in joining, call Dr. and Mrs. Garvin at * 987-7206 or the Extension Office at 1675-3619.
