<p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
font-weight:normal'>In 1838, as John James Audubon’s monumental creation,
Birds of America, was nearing completion, he requested that his engraver,
Robert Havell, produce 13 extra, unique prints. Havell was instructed to
combine images from two separate plates into a single print, commonly known as
a “Composite Plate”.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

prey, this hands-on workshop will give you a better understanding of raptor
anatomy, identification, and migration. Not only will we examine prepared
wings, feet, and skulls but we will peer inside a raptor specimen’s
mouth, feel the neck vertebrae, find the ears, and more! Participants will also
compare their finds to some of the live raptors in our collection. Educators
will share tips on identification, where to see raptors migrating, recent
research on threats to migrating birds and how we can help, and answer your
questions in a small group format. This workshop is led by the Academy’s
Live Animal Center Manager Laura McRae, a certified wildlife rehabilitator, and
Michele Bassler, the Academy’s supervisor for outreach programs and
lifelong birder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>As
Field Trip Committee Chairman, I am responsible for scheduling the field trips
for our club. Last year we had a very successful year, offering 48 field
trips; that’s almost one every week! Many were local trips in the
Delaware Valley area, but a few went far afield, to Canada and the
Caribbean. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
year I am looking to add some new locations as well as some new field trip
leaders to our offerings. I looking for members who would be willing to
lead a trip in 2010. You don’t need to be a birding expert to lead
a trip; I’m certainly not! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Please
consider doing this. I’m sure you have a favorite birding place
you’d like to show off to the other members of the club. And I am
sure there are other experienced leaders that would be willing to help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If
possible, please try to get back to me within the next two week so we can post
next year’s field trips. Please let me know if you have any
questions. I look forward to hearing from you.<br>
