Don't forget to submit your local sightings to eBird and share them with MeckAudubon (username). It helps us keep track of what is being seen when in the county. Thanks.
With all the great birding around the area and beyond, there will be lots to
talk about at Mecklenburg Audubon's upcoming annual picnic! The picnic will
be at a NEW LOCATION this year. Join us Thursday, June 7th at 6 PM at the
outdoor picnic shelter at Marion Diehl Park, 2219 Tyvola Road, Charlotte, NC
28210. The picnic area is just behind the pool at Marion Diehl Rec. Center
which is just across the parking lot from the Senior Center where we've been
having our meetings. Bring a covered dish and place setting.
If you did a little spring cleaning this year and have some gently-used, bird-related items
you'd like to recycle, bring them along for our door prize collection! Also,
we have two items to raffle: a beautiful Least Bittern wood carving by Dennis
Kent and Heron and Egret prints donated by Jack and Pat Meckler. Tickets are
$1.00 each or 6 for $5.00 and will be available that evening. As always our
proceeds will go towards conservation and education in our community.
So save
your appetites, save the date and come join the flock!
Remember, we want to know what's breeding in your backyard.
