Bird Quest 2009 A Day with the Birds on Avalon Plantation By Jim Cox The start of BirdQuest 2009 was not the most auspicious start one might imagine...
Tall Timbers Research Station & Land Conservancy Bird Quest 2009 - Jim Cox writes about, "A Day with the Birds on Avalon Plantation." Check out his Bird Notes for the tally of birds that Jim and intern Michael McDonald counted at Avalon Plantation on October 16.
1st week in November: bald eagles start to nest; look for territorial displays and aerial bouts. 3rd week in Novembers: winter sparrows start to arrive; listen for evening round-up call given by white-throated sparrows in brushy areas.
November Quail Events: Given the relatively mild weather and abundant food resources, quail coveys keep their daily movements to a minimum. On Tall Timbers, coveys are using less than five acres in a typical day. Predation continues to be minimal...
Tall Timbers Research Station & Land Conservancy Fall Field Day at Okapilco Plantation was a great event on a beautiful property! Almost 300 attended. The morning was chilly, but it warmed up nicely as the wagons wound their way through the gently rolling hills. Photos will be posted soon. Stay tuned!
Tall Timbers Research Station & Land Conservancy
The birders at Tall Timbers plan on doing a bit of pre-dawn poaching this Friday on Avalon Plantation.
The clandestine activities, which have the approval of the Turner family, are part of BirdQuest 2009, the annual all-day bird-a-thon to benefit the Vertebrate Ecology Program at Tall Timbers. The BirdQuest crew will... rise before dawn this Friday and count all the birds they can see on Avalon Plantation in a single day. By the close of the day, the group hopes to have 90 species on their list.
We hope you will join the Turner Family and the many other supporters of Tall Timbers in making this year's BirdQuest extra special. The Vertebrate Ecology Program has a long “wish list” that includes internships ($2,250), funds for new mist nets ($650), a new spotting scope ($350), and a lot of suet and sunflower seed for a new study involving winter food supplies and Brown-headed Nuthatch ($1,250).
To make a pledge, simply click here: http://talltimbers.org/birdquest.php and you’ll be taken to our on-line pledge form.
The bird group at Tall Timbers has made fantastic accomplishments over the past year. Endangered Red cockaded Woodpeckers have been reintroduced and continue to thrive on the property; studies of declining songbirds like Bachman’s Sparrows, Loggerhead Shrike, and Brown headed Nuthatch have garnered national attention; and new methods for mist netting birds are being applied on dozens of state and federal properties.
Avalon Plantation is a natural setting for BirdQuest 2009. The Turner family is a big believer in the value of biodiversity and works tirelessly to restore native species and habitats on Avalon Plantation. The family is proud to have the property’s avian biodiversity provide yet additional value to the hard-working staff at Tall Timbers.
