WARBLERS!!!
PRESENTER: DIANNE TAGGART
Warblers!! Springtime brings beautiful warblers
to Long Island! Come and join us as
Dianne Taggart (long time LI birder) tells us
all about these remarkable birds. Using photos
and many interesting and fun facts, the evening
will get you ready for spring migration and the
return of the Warblers!!

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 2019 MEET AT 8 AM
ELIZABETH MORTON NWR
LEADER BYRON YOUNG
This is always a special walk.
Just at the edge of winter, you will
be greeted by lots of hungry birds,
that eat right out of your hand.
Frequently there are pockets of
over-wintering birds. Great photo
ops as you are close to the birds.
Meet at the Refuge parking lot
at 8 am. It is roughly a 2 mile
walk to the beach and around
the refuge. Dress warmly and appropriately.
Bring binoculars! Bird seed will be provided.
The Elizabeth Morton NWR is off Noyac Road
on the way to Sag Harbor (if you are coming from the west).

Living on the
Edge
in the Face of
Climate Change
KEVIN MCALLISTER
Founding President, Defend H20
From the Source to the Sea, Defending Clean Water and the Coastal Zone
Natural shorelines, particularly ocean beaches are dynamic transitional zones which are regularly being altered by the forces of nature—wind, waves and currents. Beyond the obvious ecological importance to diverse array of marine and avian species, naturally functioning shorelines are critical buffers against the damaging effects of storm surge on coastal development. With sea level rise accelerating in response to climate change, the urgency to protect, restore and effectively manage transitional zones for ecological benefits and coastal resiliency is more critical than ever
SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2019, MEET AT 8:30 AM
