Our March 6, 2025 meeting will be our annual member participation event entitled “Favorite Birding Moments of 2024”, where members are invited to tell us about their favorite birding experiences of the past year. This is your opportunity to share your most memorable birding moments of 2024. It might be a common bird that was doing some interesting behavior, or an exotic bird that you saw on vacation, some rare bird that you chased, or a bird that offered a great photo opportunity. Joanne will be coordinating this program and assembling the submitted photos into a powerpoint presentation. Typically we have to limit each member to a maximum of five minutes. You can divide that time as you please, but we suggest describing up to five birding experiences. You can certainly present fewer than that if you prefer, and you can show more photos, as long it it doesn’t exceed the time limit. If you don’t have photos, you should still feel free to share the story to help us re-live your birding highlights of the past year. We look forward to a fun evening of great bird stories.
Please send your photos to Joanne Hall by February 20 to joannehall2005@comcast.net. Remember to include the name of your bird or subject and your name!
The meeting starts at 7PM at the Ocean County Library Barnegat branch at 112 Burr St., Barnegat, NJ, 08005, but the doors open at 6:30 for socializing. Join us.
