October 22nd: Bluebirds and Beyond: Practicing the Conservation of Eleven
Avian Species since 1966 - Dick Tuttle, Retired Science Teacher and
Conservationist

     Dick Tuttle, retired middle school science teacher and "Bluebirder,"
has helped fledge more than 42,000 birds, mostly in Delaware County.
Meticulous record keeping, analysis, and the success of others' projects
across the continent have been used to put into practice wildlife management
techniques that fledged more than 1700 birds in 2012 alone. Tuttle's
PowerPoint presentation will be chronological, starting with Eastern Screech
Owls and proceeding through artificial nest burrows for Northern
Rough-winged Swallows. An additional topic at the end of the evening's
program will be promoting an interest in birds with our own species by
teaching "Bluebird Trail Management" at OWjL Academic Camp.  See you there.
