The 2024 Nesting Season at Presque Isle State Park

with Mary Birdsong

Friday, February 21, 2025 at 7 PM

Hybrid Program: on Zoom AND at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center at Presque Isle State Park

Join Erie Bird Observatory’s Mary Birdsong as she shares the highs and lows of the 2024 nesting season at Gull Point. It was another amazing year with not only successfully fledged Piping Plover chicks but the extraordinary and historic fledgling of Common Tern chicks for the first time since the 1960s.

Mary Birdsong is the Lead Shorebird Monitor for Erie Bird Observatory. She has been monitoring shorebirds, particularly Piping Plovers since 2015. She is also a freelance writer and artist. She shares her home with her husband Mike Plyler and two gray tabby cats, and is the proud Busia to four adorable grandchildren.

To view this program from home, return to the Programs section of our website on the day of this presentation, and click on the Zoom link to sign in. To view in person, arrive at TREC by 7 PM. Doors will be open for socializing and light refreshments at 6:30 PM.
