DOTHAN: Landmark Park will offer two educational bird workshops this winter. Learn about these fascinating and lovely creatures of flight found in our local forest as well as in your own backyard. All workshops begin at 10 a.m., are free with paid gate admission and will be presented in the Interpretive Center Auditorium at the park. Please call 334-794-3452 to register.


 


BLUEBIRDS


Dr. Gary Manfready will be back to conduct the Bluebird Workshop on January 21 featuring new and updated information based on the recent findings regarding bluebird populations in recent years. Dr. Manfready is a member of the North American Bluebird Society and has contributed two articles for publication in their quarterly journal. He currently maintains four bluebird trails in Houston and Dale County including the one at Landmark Park and has a total of 75 boxes. His main focus is on population numbers and successful fledgling numbers in diverse environmental habitats.


 


HUMMINGBIRDS


On January 28, Fred Basset will present the popular program on Hummingbirds. Bassett is a licensed bird bander specializing in the banding of hummingbirds and is the president of Hummingbird Research. This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study and preservation of hummingbirds and neo-tropical migrants. Fred Bassett is known throughout the southeast for his work with the “jewels of the air.” He will share his extensive knowledge of this little bird along with facts about nesting habits, food and caring for the feeders, as well as its migration pattern.
