The
speaker on Saturday evening will be John
Rappole, currently the
Research Coordinator at the Conservation and Research Center
of the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park. He is the
author of The Ecology of Migrant Birds — A Neotropical
Perspective (1995), and has co-authored Birds of Texas
(1994), Neotropical Migratory Birds (1995), and Nearctic Avian
Migrants in the Neotropics (1995).
On Saturday Valerie Freer and Kim Corwin will be discussing the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas, including information on the Atlas document to be published.
Field trips are planned to the renowned Roger Tory Peterson Institute located in Jamestown, New York with its holdings of Dr. Peterson's photographs, film and personal memorabilia, and the Jamestown Audubon Sanctuary, a 600 acre region with over 250 acres of managed wetlands and woodlands. We will also visit the Chautauqua Lake region. This area has recorded Tundra Swan and Ruddy Duck. This region is one of four areas in Chautauqua County identified as Important Bird Areas. On Sunday morning, a trip to another IBA, the Niagara River Corridor, is scheduled. This site is world famous for gull observation as nineteen species have been recorded.
The
Chautauqua Institution
A Unique Experience in
Education
The
Chautauqua Institution, which celebrated its 125th anniversary
in 1999, is a community renowned as a center for the performing
arts and a resource for the discussion of the important issues
of our time.
Approximately
7,500 persons are in residence on any day during the summer nine week
session, and a total of over 150,000 attend scheduled public events.
The
institution was founded in 1874 as an educational experiment in out-of-school,
vacation learning.
Chautauqua
plays a unique educational role today, offering studies on a vacation
level, a more serious level, and a professional level. It also
provides a full range of conference services and accommodations during
the off-season.
