[SEMCO] Cape Cod Bird Club for November 2017

[Paul Marilyn Schlansky]

The Cape Cod Bird Club invites you to join us on Monday, November 13th, at
7 PM at the Museum of Natural History in Brewster for our monthly meeting.
This month's speaker is Kate Iaquinto, Wildlife Biologist for the U.Sl Fish
& Wildlife Service at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge in Chatham.  Her
topic is Bird Research and Conservation at Monomoy: From Terns to Knots and
Everything in Between.

Saying that Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge in Chatham, MA is a special
place for birds is an understatement. This talk will encompass a discussion
of the annual management for breeding coastal waterbirds on Monomoy NWR
including common, roseate, and least terns, piping plovers, and American
oystercatchers as well as a brief overview of some newer projects.The
presentation will also briefly cover work on non-bird species including
horseshoe crabs, northeastern beach tiger beetles, and a new project in
which 2000 seeds of the threatened seabeach amaranth were planted on the
Refuge in 2017.  Meetings are free and open to all.

And please join us for The Cape Cod Bird Club's free and fun walks for
November.  Please register by calling the number for the leader listed.
