SOLD OUT
An amazing lunch included, beverages and dessert
Drawing on over 100 years of combined experience in the field and teaching at university, as well many research projects, Frank and Sievert are a font of information with fascinating stories of birds, ducks, habitats – numerous tidbits of information only many years of research and teaching can provide.
We will begin the morning setting up mist nets ( a harmless way to catch birds ). Sievert will explain why and how they are used and you’ll get to see various birds up close before we (you) release them.
A walk around the extensive pond and trail system on Sievert’s property will lead us to duck and geese nesting locations along with history on the habitat of the forest.
We’ll head back to the house for a tasty lunch in the expansive living / dining room which looks out to the large house pond ( usually has geese nesting there ).
Frank has a stunning power point show of ducks and research work he’s been in charge of over the years.
You’ll be able to ask all kinds of questions and probably get some surprising answers from these two very experienced and interesting guys.
