The Birdathon is our annual fundraising event. All funds are raised locally and remain in our local chapter. Allen & Joanne Schweinsberg are leading our Birdathon which involves counting as many bird species as possible. Our BIRD-A-THONERS typically find over 70 different species. You can pledge "Per Species" (for example, 10 cents per species), or you can donate any specific amount.
If you would like to contribute to this fund, you can
(1) -mail your donation to PO Box 389, Lewisburg, PA 17837, (with a check made out to: Seven Mountains Audubon)
or (2) -you can make a pledge by sending an email with your name and pledge to

============================================================ May 16th Program
" Pennsylvania Birds, a Century of Change"
---------
Presented by: Allen Schweinsberg
Our birdlife is ever dynamic. Bald Eagles and Wild Turkeys are now relatively common; Marsh Wrens and Cerulean Warblers are not. As we change our environment, wildlife necessarily changes as well. One hundred years ago Pennsylvania forests had been cut to the ground. Horses and pastures were still common. Wetlands were disappearing. This program will focus on the fortunes of different species of birds in response to the habitat changes of the past 100 years.
Allen Schweinsberg is a retired Professor of Mathematics at Bucknell University. He has been president of Seven Mountains Audubon on three occasions. Additionally, he is active in the local Merrill Linn Conservancy. Allen is the author of Birds of the Central Susquehanna Valley.
=================================================
FYI the door prize will be Matt Levanowitz's second bird photography book.
Please join us 7:30 PM Wednesday, May 16th for our monthly programs held at the Kelly Twp. Supervisors' Bldg.
============================================================
Our programs are offered the Third Wednesday of the month through the school year and are all FREE and open to the public.
