Last Minute Birdathon May 11
Join us Saturday, May 11 for a morning of birding and have some fun identifying as many of our residents as well as migrants that we can find. The event will start with some time at Baker Wetlands, move on to the Clinton Lake State Park, likely take a side trip to view one of the eagle nests (complete with eaglets), and finish with a walk through Naismith Park in town if time allows.

Monthly Meeting Set for May 20
(Please note the May meeting date is moved up because of Memorial Day to the third Monday of the month, the 20th.)
Hummingbird feeding and watching has exploded in popularity over the past 15 years. Putting up hummingbird feeders is the first step in attracting hummers to your yard; but what you plant can make the difference between your garden attracting hummingbirds and other species or being passed by. Our May 20th speaker, Chuck Otte, one of the authors of Birds of Kansas, will discuss the best plants and other factors that will make your yard more hummingbird, and bird, friendly.
