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…
Giselle Smisko, a naturalist, photographer, wildlife rehabilitator and master bird bander,
will present a program on Chimney Swifts.
Sometimes mistaken for a bat,
this amazing bird spends its life (when it is not hanging on the sides of a chimney) flying
the skies searching for insects. It feasts on mosquitoes, gnats and other small bugs.
Today its population is dwindling. Learn about this unusual bird and how people are trying to encourage them to nest.
