For the first time in a very long long time, the Brooklyn Bird Club is collaborating in an essential relevant role with the Brooklyn Museum on a birding event tied in with a prominent artist's nature exhibition. In the very early (and founding )days of the club, meetings were once held at the Brooklyn Museum, once known as the Brooklyn Institute of Science before the name changed over 100 years ago ( well, the club is 101 years old now).
ON October 17th, a nature emphasized art exhibition of works by Fred Tommaselli will open with a gallery tour followed by an afternoon bird walk led by former BBC president Paul Keim ( who is by the way,a great bird artist affiliated with the Brooklyn Watercolor Society). Do take this great opportunity to see Fred Tommaselli's work and attend the bird walk as well. If you are a birder going on this walk, bring an extra pair of binoculars to share for newcomer folks who are interested in nature and birds. We are to be ambassadors for the birds, sharing our passion with others journeying into that world of birds and nature.
For the walk, you need to register , so click on the link below and reserve your spot. Middle October is a terrific time for birds, especially with hawks flying overhead and perched in the trees.
Here is the museum program note for the event ( click also on the blue italics which are links for more info)
