Hello everyone,

On my way into the Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) nature center
yesterday afternoon I was shocked to find a very dejected looking Turkey  Vulture
(not that they ever look all that perky) perched atop a utility  pole across from
the center.   After about half an hour, the bird  flew, or perhaps lurched
would be a better description, toward State Route  2 and made what appeared to
be a particularly awkward landing in a  tree just behind that old dilapidated
group of buildings at the corner of SR 2  and the Crane Creek/Magee entrance
road. When I left BSBO at about 4:30 PM the  bird had disappeared.

On a perkier note...
This Thursday, February 8th, at 7:00 PM, BSBO will host it's monthly Bird
Study group.
This month's program will begin with a species profile of that cute little
tree hugger, the Brown Creeper, presented by Cheryl Whipple. Our feature
presentation will be given by Tom Bartlett. Tom will share some his Alaskan
adventures and the amazing wildlife he encountered on his journey. Don't miss  this
opportunity to learn more about Brown Creepers, Alaska's Wildlife, and  to
give Tom a hard time.  Call (419) 898-4070 to reserve a seat.
BSBO Bird Study Group is open to the public, fun and informative, and FREE!
