Birding Club presents Greene Smith’s Birds
SHERBURNE – The Chenango Birding Club presents Greene Smith’s Birds on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m., at the Rogers Environmental Education Center in Sherburne, an informal presentation detailing the life of a local man with an extraordinary passion for birds.
Greene Smith of Peterboro was a pioneering amateur ornithologist in the mid-19th century, widely renowned for his splendid collection of thousands of bird specimens from all over the world. By the age of 21, Greene, son of the famed abolitionist Gerrit Smith, had built a private museum in which to house his collection, which grew to be one of the most admired of the era. Donations of his specimens contributed to the establishment of the ornithological collections and programs at Cornell, Harvard, and Colgate Universities.
Speaker Kay Rorer is steward of the Bird House at the Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark and coordinator of the Greene Smith Society.
The Chenango Bird Club presents monthly programs (except January, February, and March). Nature enthusiasts of all levels and interests are invited to all Chenango Bird Club programs, free of charge. Rogers Center is located one mile west of Sherburne Village on State Highway 80. Park in the staff parking lot; use the service entrance on Rte 80 (the driveway between the main parking lot exit and the white DEC office), go straight past the parked pickup trucks, and bear right around the pond, to drive to the Visitor Center.
Call Club President, Charlene LaFever at 334-9112; or Rogers Environmental Education Center at 674-4017 for more information on Chenango Bird Club activities.
