On Tuesday, March 31, ten members of the club went to Magnolia Circle on Rainbow Drive to present a program on birds to the Seniors who reside at this apartment complex. About 20 seniors were waiting for us as we came into the community room and set up our laptop and LCD project. The students presented a Powerpoint presentation on the common birds of Georgia and told a few facts about each of the 15 birds. After the slides, the club members presented the residents with three different kinds of bird feeders and told them what birds they might expect at each one.
After refreshments, the students escorted those interested out onto the patio to look through the binoculars that we brought with us. We saw a number of birds and we able to help the folks identify a robin. We were very pleased to have this opportunity to share our knowledge. Many thanks to Kyrel's mom and Mrs. Adams for driving. Also, notice the wonderful new t-shirts. Many thanks to Woody for designing the Brown Thrasher logo!
During the next two weeks the club will be fund raising for the National Audubon Society's "Pennies for the Planet" and preparing for Georgia's 4th Annual Youth Birding Competition.
