On Sunday, June 1, 2008 DC Audubon will be fielding a birding trip to Little Bennett with Ted Vawter as group leader. Little Bennett is one of the better area parks in terms of breeding bird diversity (Veery, Kentucky and Blue-Wing Warbler, Yellow Throated Vireo among possibles) despite the fact that the area is undergoing a period of heavy development which has impacted species variety. Species such as Grasshopper Sparrow and Eastern Meadowlark, among others have become more difficult to find.

Dr. George Zug

“Snakes – Local & Exotic”

Snakes are marvels of adaptation. They fascinate all of us, even those of us who find them frightening. George Zug (Emeritus Research Zoologist & former curator of herpetology, National Museum of Natural History) will offer an introduction to snake anatomy and biology of local and foreign snakes, and also comment on snake-human interactions. He and Carl Ernst (George Mason University) recently published the book Snakes: Smithsonian Answer Book.
