The next meeting of the Cape Cod Bird Club will be held on Monday, February

Brewster.  All meetings are free and open to all.

The program will feature* Peter Trull* -who will present *Terns of Cape
Cod: Birds of Paradox*

Take a photo-journey with Peter Trull as he explores the behavior and
biology of the Cape’s four tern species: Roseate, Arctic, Common & Least.
Terns migrate long distances to reach Cape Cod.  Many images in this
program have never been seen before. This wildlife adventure will provide
an opportunity for questions and discussion about infrequently seen
behaviors and life histories of our most graceful seabirds.
