Please join our Zoom meeting this Friday at 7PM for a presentation about the Erie Bird Observatory. Headed by ornithologist Sarah Sargent, this non-profit is dedicated to avian research, education, and conservation along the PA shoreline of Lake Erie. Join Sarah, plus Mary Birdsong and Laura-Marie Koitsch, as they share their enthusiasm for birds and conservation.
This is the first virtual program from Presque Isle Audubon, and I’m hoping it technically goes well, with a minimum number of glitches. For those of you who are uncertain about using Zoom, I encourage you to access this link: https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/zoom-essentials
for the free, short book entitled “Take Control of Zoom Essentials” by Glenn Fleishman. This author strongly recommends that you sign up for your own Zoom account. He says Zoom works best during meetings when you sign in with your own account. He writes that if you do want to sign in to the meeting on a browser, make it Google Chrome if possible, as that browser works the best with Zoom. For everyone unfamiliar with Zoom, I say give it a chance. Signing up is free and darn easy, plus you won’t get unwanted email from Zoom afterwards. This is likely the way we will be meeting for the foreseeable future. The meeting invitation says 7 to 8:30 PM, but we should probably be done by 8PM, and of course you can leave at any time.
The good thing about having virtual programs is the ease of attendance: no driving long distances or having to getting cleaned up to look presentable. This meeting will be set up so that your audio and video will be turned off; that is, your camera will not be on and nobody will hear anything from your end. At least I hope that is how it will be! I am still learning. The chat box feature will be available, as we definitely want the listeners to be able to ask questions of the EBO folks. After the meeting is over, I would love your feedback; send it to president@PresqueIsleAudbon.org
“See” you Friday!

CANCELLATION OF THE ALLEGANY NATURE PILGRIMAGE
April 10, 2020 The Allegany Nature Pilgrimage Committee has been eagerly anticipating the 2020 Allegany Nature Pilgrimage for much of the past year. Our first committee planning for this year’s event began the week following the successful 2019 weekend. The Allegany Nature Pilgrimage provides a time for us all to connect with new and old friends, enjoy the beauty of Allegany State Park, and learn more about our wonderful natural world. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and for the safety of our attendees, leaders, and nature community, it is with heavy hearts that the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage committee must cancel the 2020 event for May 29, 30, and 31. All current online or mail-in registration money received will automatically be refunded. Should you have cabin or campsite reservations at Allegany State Park, you must cancel through www.reserveamerica.com or call 1-800-456-2267. ANP is unable to help you with lodging reservations and questions. We look forward to seeing you at the 2021 Allegany Nature Pilgrimage next year on June 4, 5, and 6! |
