All guests are welcome!! Bill Heck is one of the Columbus Audubon Avid Bird Leaders and this presentation gives a very thought provoking and wonderful travelogue to the island of Madagascar. Delaware County Bird Club usually meets on the 4th Monday of the month with the exception of Nov and Dec annually. Dear Delaware County Birders, The November meeting of the Delaware County Bird Club will be Monday evening, 16 November at 7:00 p.m. for conversation and refreshments, 7:30 p.m. for the business meeting and program: Madagascar: Paradise in Peril by Bill Heck Abstract. - Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, provides a fascinating range of unique and endemic birds, primates, reptiles, other animals, and plants. At the same time, the pressures of a large and rapidly growing human population, as well as political instability, threaten Madagascar's unique fauna and flora. Join Bill Heck for an overview of the fascinating life of this beautiful land and a look at the challenges that may darken its future. Bill has been practicing his talk and our scouts report that the pictures are fantastic. So plan to come and enjoy in the luxury of the Ohio Wesleyan Science Center, room 163. Parking is available in the Selby Stadium lot across Henry St. from the Center or in the lot behind the Center and next to Branch Rickey Arena.
