Birding by Car

Presented by Ken Thompson

Ken Thompson will our first speaker this year. On February 6th, he will present a power point program Birding by Car. Every image was taken by Ken, from either inside the car or using the car as a blind and standing next to the car. Most of these shots were taken on Long Island, with few particularly good ones from the Metropolitan area, New York State his travels. Ken is a member of Great South Bay Audubon Society. He has been birding for over 10 years, and now as a retiree he has become a even more active and serious birder. It was Ken who is responsible for giving most of the regions birding community the closest, and for many, their first look, at a Dovekie. Ken found this, the smallest of the alcides in a marina in Great River. This bird was not shy, with many of a birdrer, myself included, seeing from a distance of no more than six feet while standing on top of the dock. oops, hope I didn’t give away one of the programs goodies.
