Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Two decades ago, Jerry Barrack and I joined forces to create "In the Presence of Nature," better known as simply "The Celery Farm Book." I wrote the text, and Jerry provided the photos. Doug Goodell contributed as well.
Above is a YouTube video of the recent Zoom presentation Jerry and I did for the Fyke Nature Association — highlighting what's changed and what has remained the same (including a classic photo from the old Hour on the Tower, above).
Lots of great photos about the Celery Farm in the good old days.
Since mid-2015, Fyke's monthly speaker presentations have been funded by a generous grant from the Winifred M. and George P. Pitkin Foundation.
