On Wednesday, January 23 from 6 – 8, hear Wayne R. Peterson, Director of the Massachusetts Important Bird Area Program at Mass Audubon, speak on Changes in New England Bird Population. Since the arrival of the Pilgrims in the 1600’s, bird populations in New England have undergone many changes due to alteration of the New England landscape, persecution of birds for feathers and food, pesticide contamination, competition with introduced species, natural biological competition among avian species and range expansion and contraction likely resulting from global climate change. This presentation will discuss and describe these various phenomena within a New England context. $10 for Mass Audubon members, $13 for nonmembers (advance purchase), $15 at the door.
