WILD BIRDS - UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
May 20 2 pm
UROCK Suite 402
Wind Over Wings, a non-profit group based in Dresden, ME,
will provide us an opportunity to see 4 wild birds that are
indigenous to Maine. These birds, Golden Eagle (right), the
Red-Tailed Hawk, the Raven and the Northern Saw-whet Owl
(below) were rescued after injuries in the wild and despite
veterinary care, could not survive back in their normal
environment. The State of Maine has given permission to have
them used in educational programs such as this one.

Following lunch, MARNIE SINCLAIR, will present an intriguing informative and
entertaining talk involving art and serious climate science. Her exhibit “Making Sense
of Climate Change Through Art” was presented at Skidompha Library this past
January. Paul Kando, CSC Board Member and one of our own lecturers, has heard one
of her impressive presentations and recommends her highly. Some of her art pieces
as well as some free-standing sculpture will also be on display.
We can look forward to another educational and entertaining speaker, not to mention a
tasty lunch a chance to socialize, and to recognize our wonderful volunteers.
