Meetings - Programs - Events
• Great South Bay Audubon Society's General Membership Meeting - Thursday, September 16, 2010 - The Fire Island Raptor Enumerators have been documenting the fall passage of raptors along the barrier beach since 1983. The inferred population trends from these counts will be presented. Emphasis will be given to the falcons - Peregrines, Merlins, and Kestrels - those exciting raptors that are unique along the barrier beach. The falcon trends will be compared to results from the R.P.I. analysis of several other watch sites, and possible reasons for the Kestrel decline will be considered. More Info...
• Breakfast and Birding at Connetquot River State Park Preserve - Saturday, September 18, 2010 - Fall is here and birds are migrating!  Come to the Main Building and enjoy being treated to a continental breakfast by the Friends of Connetquot while watching a brief photographic introduction to the birds that migrate through or nest in the preserve.  Then, hit the trails with leaders Alice Heller, Steve D'Amato & Nicholas Laviola, who will search out as many birds as they can find and will try to answer any bird-related questions you may have. More Info...
• Great South Bay Audubon Society's General Membership Meeting - Thursday, October 21, 2010 - Captain Don Harris will speak with the Great South Bay Audubon Society to discuss a variety of issues and ways people can get involved by supporting Operation SPLASH, whose mission is "To provide a low cost solution to growing waterfront pollution, through public awareness, community action, and active participation."
