September 2019 Meeting: Bird Studies


Our September 2019 program, titled Bird Studies, was an introduction to bird watching and feeding, and how to develop a bird friendly yard, presented by Chuck Horn. 

Chuck earned a degree in Resource Management from UW-Stevens Point and worked for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for forty years. After retirement he came back as a part time administrator in the boating safety program and Learn to Hunt and Learn to Fish Outdoor Education programs. Chuck has assisted in or coordinated Audubon Christmas Bird Counts for about 20 years and is currently the coordinator/compiler for the Fennimore Bird Count Circle.

Chuck and his wife, Diane Reuter, who assisted with the presentation, share many outdoor
interests and adventures together including, birding, wildflower identification, hunting, fishing, hiking and camping.

As with all of the Uplands Garden Club speaker presentations, this program was free and open to the public - people of all ages were encouraged to attend.
