Can you imagine a landfill that has been transformed into a meadow that is a star attractant for birds all year?

If not, come see one for yourself on our Field Trip to Croton Point Park. This capped landfill that was a feeding ground for thousands of gulls is now a top place to bird in Westchester. Croton Point is a fine local birding spot, especially good in early November for open country birds like Horned Larks, grassland sparrows, harriers, and other raptors.
Meet at the Croton Point Park entrance booth at 8:00am or meet at Bylane to carpool/caravan at 7:15am. Cost: Free. Level of difficulty: Easy. Please register with Susan at info@bedfordaudubon.org or 914-302-9713.

Embrace the season by reading a “humorous, big-hearted, and boundlessly beautiful romp… where even a cowardly CROW can become a hero.”
November’s Book Club selection is Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton. In this novel, “one pet crow fights to save humanity from an apocalypse in this uniquely hilarious debut from a genre-bending literary author.” Best-selling New York Times author (H is for Hawk, our first Book Club read) says this about Hollow Kingdom, “It’s transformative, poignant, and funny as hell. S.T. the irrepressible, cursing crow is my new favourite apocalyptic hero.” This novel is sure to lead to a lively discussion!

Please join us @ 6:30pm for refreshments; discussion begins at 7:00. Bylane Farm, 35 Todd Rd., Katonah. For planning purposes, please register with Susan at info@bedfordaudubon.org or call (914) 232-1999.
