getting some culture: part 3

For those keeping track, I've explored fashion art (at the Jepson) and the world of books.

Now, time to get my science groove on!

One Hundred Miles' Savannah office had a Naturalist 101 lecture and, although tonight's air was too chilly for my warm heart, I attended on fb.

Hooray for that option!!!

They named it differently on social media, but I knew it from the OHM website as "Seabirds & Shorebirds On The Georgia Coast".

That made me suspect it would be a lot like a lecture from last year.

Yep, that's Allie Hayser presenting the talk, just as before!

This time, though, she was solo, and was very excited to be talking about birds!

So brisk and lively she kept the topic!

It was obvious that she is accustomed to sharing this information with children at various schools and at the Tybee Marine Science Center.

Most excellent!

I waited for an opening and shot her a question from the fb audience.

"So horseshoe crabs aren't endangered?"

She was talking about their blood being used to check for drug purity, as well as talking about horseshoe crab roe being a favored food for Red Knots.

Red Knots are quite easily her favorite shore bird!!!

Here, she was talking of using the band information on a bird's leg to track where it was last seen.

This page covered the bird's movements from 2015 to the present!

That was truly amazing!!!

She finished the talk with a preview of the 2nd Annual Shorebird Festival coming up next week at Tybee.

I do hope the forecast will allow me to take part this time around!

Thursday will be out, as I already have other events then.

However, all the fun activities next Saturday may even encourage some of my great-nieces and great-nephews to join me!

That will be wonderful!!!
