Songbirds such as the Wood Thrush are iconic to our area and a focal species of Bedford Audubon’s forest conservation efforts. Join us as past BAS Board Chair, John Hannan, discusses how his work in the Meso-American Corridor of Nicaragua and Honduras is combining community development with conservation to protect the forest habitat that our Wood Thrushes and other songbirds desperately need to survive.

We invite you for refreshments at 7:00pm; the lecture begins at 7:30pm.

This is a free event sponsored by Bedford Audubon Society made possible by the generosity of its members and donors.

Did you know that raptors are indicators of the health of our ecosystem? They are near the top of the food chain and are among the first in the animal kingdom to signal changes in the environment!
Bedford Audubon collects data every year during Chestnut Ridge Hawkwatch. Join us for a complimentary Breakfast with the Hawks during this fall’s Hawkwatch! This much-loved event is timed to take advantage of peak Cooper’s Hawk migration and is perfect for families! (All children must be accompanied by an adult.) Co-sponsored by Westmoreland Sanctuary.

Meet at the Hawkwatch platform at the Arthur Butler Sanctuary. Cost: Free. Level of difficulty: Easy-Moderate. Please register with Susan at info@bedfordaudubon.org or 914-302-9713.
