Tessellated Swamphens & Stoned Peacocks: The Wonders of Birding Art Museums
- Mark Lynch 
How many of us have ever considered art museums as the venues of our next
birding adventures? Mark Lynch uniquely combines separate areas of expertise
as an outstanding naturalist and long-time teacher and docent at Worcester
Art Museum. An expert ornithologist, he was a founding member of the
Massachusetts Avian Records Committee and was a regional editor for the Bird
Finding Guide to Western Massachusetts. He and his wife Sheila are regional
coordinators for their state's multi-year Breeding Bird Atlas. With the aid
of her excellent photographs, Mark will lead us on a delightfully surprising
and enlightening ornithological tour through art museums. 
All indoor programs begin at 7:00 PM; business at 7:30 PM, talk at 8pm.  All
meetings will be held in the Jones Auditorium, CT Agricultural Experiment
Station, Huntington St., New Haven. The facility is wheelchair accessible
with a ramp and elevator.
