"Season's at Lenoir"

     This is a great season to get out your cameras, pencils, paints, etc. to prepare your works for the March 2012 "Seasons at Lenoir" Art/Photography Exhibit.
     There is still lots of color in the Butterfly/Hummingbird Garden, our Hawk Watch is in full swing on weekends, and a variety of birds are migrating through the area. "Feeder Watch" will begin in November, and fall folliage should be spectacular. Use your imaginations to come up with many other subjects for works.

Project FeederWatch

     Our Project FeederWatch will kick off on Saturday, November 19, with Dana and Frank Fazzino as the leaders. We will gather in Lenoir’s "observation" room and look out the big picture windows to identify and count the birds at the feeders.
     Please come and join us for two hours of enjoyment! Bring your binoculars if you have them.
     Refreshments will be served.

Sat., Jan. 28 - 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Sun., Jan. 29 - 11 a.m to 1 p.m.

Join us for "Ghost Bird", a special film
Lenoir Nature Preserve
7:00 PM
Ghost Bird is a documentary by Scott Crocker, featuring David Sibley, Nancy Tanner and Jerome Jackson.
Set in a murky swamp full of birders, scientists and reporters, this movie explores the limits of certainty, the seductive power of hope, and how one phantom woodpecker changed a small southern town in Arkansas forever. All these people are searching for the “Holy Grail with wings,” the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. Is it really extinct? The bird’s fate remains a mystery.
Film begins at 7:00 pm. Popcorn will be served. In case of inclement weather, please call Michael Bochnik at 914-237-9331.
