First OLLI Birding Class, Tue, April 22

Hello Class Members,

I just wanted to confirm that we will be meeting at the Nature Center at Cape Henlopen State Park at 8 am Tuesday, April 22. Current weather forecast for the morning looks good, but do keep checking this blog for any updates, and bring rain resistant jackets for any showers.

Our target bird species for this field trip is the Piping Plover. It is a federally endangered species, and with protection provided by DE Fish and Wildlife, it has been reliably reproducing at Cape Henlopen.

I know many of you know Sally Fintel, my partner in this class, and you may have heard that she had a fall resulting in a broken wrist on 4/13. She is doing well, and should be with us Tue. We were on a whale watching and birding trip offshore Baja Mexico when the fall occurred in rough seas.
