Outdoor Club Notes
Early Birders
We continued to study bird songs on the CD, “Birding By Ear”, last month. We also looked at a variety of equipment such as birdfeeders, birdhouses, etc.

As we turn the calendar to April, we also change our meeting time to 8:00 am and gather by the front desk for our outdoor field trips. On April 25th we will carpool to the potholes west of town around the Wall Lake area.

We will continue to gather on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month at 8:00 am from Spring through Fall unless otherwise announced.

Several people signed up to join our birding club at the March Active Generations Outdoor Club Expo. If you are interested in joining or want more information call Ken Walter at 605 582 5700. All you need is an interest in birds, and enjoy great programs and fun outings.
