November 4 @ 6:45 pm - 8:30 pm
Who: Cathy Hagadorn, Director of Connecticut Audubon’s Deer Pond Farm Sanctuary, and Lori Lichtenauer, the preserve’s Sanctuary Manager/Naturalist. Lori is a certified forester and has been birding for about 10 years. Her avian studies and research have taken her from Colorado to Australia and back to Connecticut.
Description: Cathy will share highlights of this preserve, including habitat enhancement projects going on in support of forest birds and other wildlife. She’ll talk about the 850 acres, 15 miles of trails, pollinator garden, meadows and programs. Lori will present an overview of avian singing behavior in some local birds. In playing recordings of birds, she will also review the unique anatomy of songbirds that allows them to harmonize with themselves. She will also discuss how the Merlin app can be a great tool in learning how to bird by ear.
