For the Love of Birds: Introduction to Birding
Come and be enthralled with the world of birds. Learn how to start birding, how to identify our feathered friends, and where to find them. The presentation will also touch on the migratory behavior of birds.
Presenter Nilesh Shah is the Secretary of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club, While always interested in birds, Nilesh's experience as a birder really began when he happened to see a Peterson’s Field Guide to Birds on his boss’ desk in late 1986. He says: "I then bought a pair of binoculars in January 1987 and have been birding since then. I recently crossed the 1000 species mark on my life-list, having birded extensively in the U.S. and several other countries. I happen to just love birds but I am also fascinated by their behavior, their skills and the role they play in the larger ecosystem."
This program is intended for adults. RSVP Requested.
The Library will be hosting a representative from the office of State Rep. Nancy Guenst today from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
They will be providing free notary services, help with PennDOT related issues, SEPTA senior keycards, unclaimed property and much more.
