Tom Sheley

Please join us as we welcome Columbus naturalist and photographer Tom Sheley as he introduces us to the Wonderful World of Wood-Warblers.

With apologies to Tennyson, in spring a young birder's fancy turns to thoughts of warblers. And why not? After all, who can resist these colorful feathered gems as they migrate right through the heart of Ohio? Tom shares his passion for these tiny avian delights in a discussion of why we have warblers and how to identify them. Tom also provides some tips and locations for observing our eastern Wood-Warblers.

Packard Takes Flight

Packard Takes Flight

Tonight's CA Short Program at 7:00 pm features Susan Levine talking about her book Packard Takes Flight. She will sign copies that evening.

Packard Takes Flight is the first children's picture book written about Ohio's state capital. It is based on the true story of peregrine falcons nesting on the Rhodes Tower in downtown Columbus. The book is engaging for children, yet filled with information about the city's history and the wonderful sites and cultural amenities around Columbus. The book also includes facts about peregrines falcons, a map of downtown Columbus and contact information for all the sites mentioned in the book.

7:00 – 7:15: Short prgram

7:15 - 7:30: Refreshments and social time

7:30 – 9:00 pm: Main program

Columbus Audubon public programs are held at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center (505 West Whittier Street in the Scioto-Audubon Metro Park on the Whittier Peninsula).

Nathan MartineauThe Eyrie, the American Birding Association's blog for young birders, featured a post on April 23 entitled A Taste of Spring written by Nathan Martineau. Although Nathan is from "that state up north," he is a member of the Ohio Young Birders Club. Nathan's very supportive parents bring him to central Ohio for most of our chapter's OYBC events!

Having a post on the ABA blog is quite an honor for Nathan -- we're glad to have him as one of our own.
